Math Problem Statement
Solution
To solve this problem, we need to determine the experimental probability that in a group of 4 students, at least one has green eyes. According to the problem:
- Percentage of students with green eyes: 10%.
- Representation: The digit "9" in the random numbers represents the 10% of students who have green eyes.
- Simulation data: 20 four-digit numbers are given as samples.
Step 1: Identify Numbers with "9"
Since only the digit "9" represents a student with green eyes, we count each number in which at least one of the digits is "9". Let's go through the numbers one by one.
Numbers with "9" highlighted:
- 7918 - contains "9"
- 7910 - contains "9"
- 2546 - does not contain "9"
- 1390 - contains "9"
- 6075 - does not contain "9"
- 1230 - does not contain "9"
- 2386 - does not contain "9"
- 0793 - contains "9"
- 7359 - contains "9"
- 3048 - does not contain "9"
- 2816 - does not contain "9"
- 6147 - does not contain "9"
- 5978 - contains "9"
- 5621 - does not contain "9"
- 9732 - contains "9"
- 9436 - contains "9"
- 3806 - does not contain "9"
- 5971 - contains "9"
- 6173 - does not contain "9"
- 1430 - does not contain "9"
Step 2: Count Numbers with "9"
From the list, the numbers that contain at least one "9" are:
- 7918, 7910, 1390, 0793, 7359, 5978, 9732, 9436, and 5971.
There are 9 numbers out of the 20 that contain the digit "9".
Step 3: Calculate Experimental Probability
The experimental probability that in a group of 4 students at least one has green eyes is given by:
Answer
The experimental probability that at least one of the four students has green eyes is 45%.
Would you like further details on any part of this solution, or do you have any additional questions?
Here are 5 related questions that could further expand understanding:
- How does changing the percentage of students with green eyes affect the experimental probability?
- What would happen to the experimental probability if we used a larger sample size, like 100 numbers?
- How can we use the binomial distribution to calculate the theoretical probability for this scenario?
- What are some limitations of using experimental probability over theoretical probability in this context?
- How could we adjust the simulation if 15% of students had green eyes instead of 10%?
Tip: When dealing with probabilities in simulations, remember to distinguish between "experimental" and "theoretical" probabilities—experimental probability relies on data from actual trials, while theoretical probability is based on expected outcomes.
