a) Use Tuesday's results to estimate the

probability of Ben hitting the targe.

b) Use the total of the results to estimate the

probability of Ben of hitting the target.

c) Which estimate would give the most reliable probability?

A- the one from Tuesday or B - the one from the Total?

Total marks: 3

0.6 ;

0.7

Reaukt in B will give a better estimate because it has a larger sample size (120) than the result on A ,with sample size (30)

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of hitting the target using Tuesday's result :

P(hitting the target):

Probability = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

Required outcome = number of hits = 18

Total possible outcomes = number of throws =. 30

Hence, Probability of hitting the target using Tuesday's result : 18 / 30 = 0.6

B.)

Probability of hitting the target using Total result:

Required outcome = number of hits = 84

Total possible outcomes = number of throws =. 120

= 84 / 120

= 0.7
