Question

flip a paper cup in the air and see how it lands. what is the probability the cup lands on its side? run trial ×1 run trial ×10 run trial ×100 total trials total successes percent success 0 0 0% 54% 62% 76% 82%

Explanation:

Step1: Understand probability formula

Probability of an event \( P=\frac{\text{Number of successful outcomes}}{\text{Total number of trials}}\times100\%\)

Step2: Assume trials and successes (for example, if we run \(100\) trials and assume \(76\) of them land on side)

If total trials \(n = 100\) and total successes (landing on side) \(m=76\), then \(P=\frac{76}{100}\times 100\%=76\%\)

Answer:

76%
