The following table shows the number of goals that the Texas Sharpshooters scored in each of their 8 hockey
games this season.
Based on this data, what is a reasonable estimate of the probability that the Texas Sharpshooters score exactly
1 goal next hockey game?
Choose the best answer.

The probability that the Texas Sharpshooters score exactly 1 goal next hockey game is 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The table is as shown in the attached figure.

The probability of a future event based on past events, is called experimental probability.

Experimental probability = Number of favorable outcomes/Total number of outcomes

To find the probability that the Texas Sharpshooters score exactly

1 goal next hockey game

As shown at the table:

favorable outcomes are 1 repeated 4 times

So, favorable outcomes = 4

Total outcomes = 8

probability = 4/8 = 0.5

So, The probability that the Texas Sharpshooters score exactly 1 goal next hockey game is 0.5

probability for j is 1/4

while

a is 1/6
