Worksheet 1
6 problems- A school is conducting a survey about favorite school subjects. In a random sample of 120 students, 45 students chose math as their favorite subject. Based on this sample, approximately how many students out of the entire school of 800 students would you expect to choose math as their favorite subject?
- Liam is testing a new board game that uses a spinner divided into 7 equal sections numbered from 1 to 7. He spins the spinner 11,000 times and records the results in a bar graph. The bar for each number is described below: - Number 1: height of 1,573 - Number 2: height of 1,571 - Number 3: height of 1,575 - Number 4: height of 1,569 - Number 5: height of 1,577 - Number 6: height of 1,565 - Number 7: height of 1,570 Based on Liam's experimental data, what is the approximate probability that the spinner will land on an odd number? Express your answer as a decimal rounded to the nearest thousandth.
