In a particular city 97 in 1.3 million people have been struck by lightning. What is the experimental probability of being struck by lightning in this city?

Respuesta :

Solution: Experimental probability is ratio of the number of times an event occurs to the total number of trials of the experiment.

[tex]Probability =\frac{Number-of-times-an-event-occurs}{Total-number-of-trials}[/tex]

We are given:

Number of people struck by lightning in a particular city [tex]=97[/tex]

Total number of people in a particular city [tex]=1.3 million=1,300,000[/tex]

Therefore the experimental probability of being struck by lightning in this city is:

[tex]Probability=\frac{97}{1,300,000}[/tex]

                        [tex]=0.0000746[/tex]
