Question

flip a paper cup in the air and see how it lands. what is the probability the cup lands on its top? run trial ×1 run trial ×10 run trial ×100 =?% total trials total successes percent success 0 0 0% 6% 12% 19% 26%

Explanation:

Step1: Understand the probability formula

Probability (in percentage) = $\frac{\text{Total Successes}}{\text{Total Trials}}\times100\%$.

Step2: Assume after running a sufficient number of trials (say for example, if we run 100 trials and get 12 successes)

If Total Trials = 100 and Total Successes = 12, then Probability = $\frac{12}{100}\times100\% = 12\%$.

Answer:

12%
