Question
read the story.
zack planted an assortment of tulip bulbs in his garden. half of them were pink tulips. this morning, he noticed that 3 of the tulips had started to sprout. how likely is it that all of them will be pink?
zack simulates the situation by flipping a coin 3 times. each time the coin lands on heads, it represents a pink tulip.
this table shows the results of 100 trials:
based on zacks results, what is the probability that all of the tulips will be pink?
Step1: Recall the formula for experimental probability
Experimental probability \(P=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of trials}}\)
Step2: Identify the number of favorable outcomes and total number of trials
The number of favorable outcomes (number of trials with 3 heads) is \(11\). The total number of trials is \(100\)
Step3: Calculate the probability
Substitute into the formula: \(P = \frac{11}{100}=0.11\)
