Experimental Probability of Simple Events

Question

While bowling with friends, Brandy rolls a strike in 6 out of 10 frames. What is the experimental probability that Brandy will roll a strike in the first frame of the next game?

Answer 1

Hi Mari,

 

Brandy has a strike rate of 6 out of 10 frames. So the probability that Brandy will make a strike is 6/10 = 0.6.

 

So, if Brandy has one roll in the first frame of the next game , the probability he will have a strike is 0.6 or 60%.

 

Answer 2

Since this is simple probability, Brandy has 6/10 = 0.6 probability of getting a strike on the first frame.
