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% 4% 11% 17% 24%

Explanation:

Step1: Understand the concept of probability

Probability is calculated as the number of successful outcomes divided by the total number of trials, then multiplied by 100 to get a percentage.

Step2: Analyze the given options

Since no trials have been run yet in the provided table, we assume this is a theoretical or common - sense based on similar experiments. In many cup - flipping experiments (where the cup can land on its top, bottom, or side), a common approximate probability for landing on the top is around 17%.

Answer:

17%
