Question

read the story.
felipes lacrosse team will play in the hickory hills tournament this weekend. they will play 6 different teams, each with a 50% chance of winning. how likely is it that felipes lacrosse team will win all 6 of their games?
felipe simulates the situation by flipping a coin 6 times. each time the coin lands on tails, it represents his lacrosse team winning a game.
this table shows the results of 100 trials:
based on felipes results, what is the probability that his lacrosse team will win all of their games?
%

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for experimental probability

Experimental probability \(P=\frac{\text{Number of successful trials}}{\text{Total number of trials}}\)

Step2: Identify the number of successful trials and total number of trials

The number of trials where the team wins all 6 games (6 tails) is 3. The total number of trials is 100.

Step3: Calculate the probability

Substitute into the formula: \(P = \frac{3}{100}=0.03\)

Answer:

3%
