Question

The following table shows the number of times target was hit by a shooter in a shooting game in each of his 10 games.

1	2	4	4	7
3	8	8	9	5

Find the empirical probability that he will exactly hit 8 times in the next game.

• A. 0.20
• B. 0.40
• C. 0.60
• D. 0.80

Answer 1

The correct option is A 0.20

Experimental probability is defined as, P(E)= $\frac{\text{Number of trails in which event happened}}{\text{Total number of trials}}$
Total number of games = 10
Out of 10 games played target was hit exactly 8 times in 2 games.
$\therefore$ Required experimental probability
= $\frac{2}{10}=0.20$.
