Question

flip a paper cup in the air and see how it lands. what is the probability the cup lands on its bottom? run trial ×1 run trial ×10 run trial ×100 total trials total successes percent success 0 0 0% 8% 16% 24% 32%

Explanation:

Step1: Understand probability formula

Probability (experimental) = $\frac{\text{Total Successes}}{\text{Total Trials}}$

Step2: Conduct trials

Click "Run Trial ×100" (for more accurate result). Suppose after 100 trials, say 16 times it lands on bottom.

Step3: Calculate probability

Using formula: $\frac{16}{100}=0.16 = 16\%$

Answer:

16%
