Question

a random number generator is used to create a list of 300 single-digit numbers. of those 300 numbers, 146 are odd and 154 are even. the number 8 was generated 22 times. what is the experimental probability of an even number other than 8 being generated? write your answer as a decimal to the nearest hundredths. 0.52 0.44 0.23 0.35

Explanation:

Step1: Find number of even numbers other than 8

Total even numbers = 154, number of 8s = 22. So even numbers other than 8: \(154 - 22 = 132\)

Step2: Calculate experimental probability

Experimental probability = \(\frac{\text{Number of even numbers other than 8}}{\text{Total numbers}}=\frac{132}{300}\)
Simplify: \(\frac{132}{300}=0.44\)

Answer:

0.44
