Question

carly uses a random number generator to simulate randomly choosing a seed to plant 25 times. the numbers 1 – 3 represent a carnation. the numbers 4 – 8 represent a marigold. the numbers generated are shown.
8, 2, 4, 1, 5, 3, 3, 3, 1, 5, 7, 7, 2, 5, 4, 1, 5, 8, 4, 4, 6, 1, 6, 3, 3
based on these numbers, what is the expected probability of choosing a marigold seed?
the expected probability of choosing a marigold seed is \\(\frac{square}{square}\\).

Explanation:

Step1: Count total trials

Total simulations = 25

Step2: Count marigold numbers (4-8)

Marigold numbers: 8,4,5,5,7,7,5,4,5,8,4,4,6,6 → 16 numbers

Step3: Calculate probability

Probability = $\frac{\text{Marigold count}}{\text{Total count}} = \frac{16}{25}$

Answer:

$\frac{16}{25}$
