Raelynn Tanner · Answer 1

The answer is D) 0.476

Step-by-step explanation:

If 1 represents HIT, and 0 represents OUT, the probability that Sammy will get a hit = the number of HITS (1s) : the output from the simulation (i. e., total number of HITs and OUTs in the simulation)

Where:

the number of HITS (1s) = 20

the output from the simulation (i. e., total number of HITs and OUTs in the simulation) = 42

therefore, the probability that Sammy will get a hit = 20 : 42 = 0.476

This implies that the correct answer is D) 0.476
