Q. Emmy is tossing bean bags at a target. She hit the target on 9 out of her last 18 tries. Considering this data, how many hits would you expect Emmy to get during her next 16 tosses?____ hits
Calculate Hit Rate: Calculate Emmy's hit rate from her previous attempts.She hit 9 out of 18 tries, so her hit rate is:Hit Rate = Number of Hits / Total Tries = 189 = 0.5
Predict Hits: Use the hit rate to predict the number of hits in the next 16 tosses.Expected Hits =Hit Rate×Number of New Tosses=0.5×16=8
