Basic Concepts of Probability · Example 5
Assign an empirical probability to the following events:
(a) Jose is on the basketball court practicing his shots from the free throw line. He made 47 out of his last 80 attempts. What is the probability he makes his next shot?
(b) Amy is about to begin her morning commute. Over her last 60 commutes, she arrived at work 12 times in under half an hour. What is the probability that she arrives at work in 30 minutes or less?
(c) Felix is playing Yahtzee with his sister. Felix won 14 of the last 20 games he played against her. How likely is he to win this game?
