The students at Kayla's school are forming teams of three students for a quiz bowl competition. Kayla is assuming that each member of a team is equally likely to be male or female. She uses a coin toss (heads = female, tails = male) to simulate this probability. Here is Kayla's data from 50 trails of 3 coin tosses:

thh tth tth tht thh htt hth hht hth tth tth hht hth tht tht tth tth thh thh htt tht thh th hht hth thh tht tth hht thh hhh tth tth hth htt tht thh hhh htt thh htt ttt tht ttt thh hht hth htt hht hth

There were 2 incidents of all head flips which would indicate all girls so that would be a probability of [tex] \frac{2}{50} = \frac{1}{25} [/tex]

Hope that helps

Answer:

Probability that a a team will consist entirely of girls are 0.04.

Step-by-step explanation:

Kayla did 50 entries, each one involving three coin tosses. She grouped them per time, and put them in a list.

Where she is using heads for female and tails for male.

you are asking According to this data, what is the experimental probability that a team will consist entirely of girls

thh tth tth tht thh htt hth hht hth tth tth hht hth tht tht tth tth thh thh htt tht thh th hht hth thh tht tth hht thh hhh tth tth hth htt tht thh hhh htt thh htt ttt tht ttt thh hht hth htt hht hth

I have done bold and underline which entry was only for females.

So there are 2 out of 50

Probability is measured by: Set data/total possible outcomes

P = 2/50 = 1/25

P = 0.04
