Find the experimental probability that the first three students to arrive at school are boys.
A. 3/20
B. 1/5
C. 3/10
D. 1/4
Answered by Tammy
There are 8 possible cases for the first 3 students:
BBB
BBG
BGB
BGG
GBB
GBG
GGB
GGG , only one of these has 3 boys

so the prob(your stated event) = 1/8

HUH???

The bot just said:
The answer choice that matches this probability is D) 1/4, which is the simplified version of 1/8.

I wonder what method of "simplification" the bot is using
Answered by Bot
Without any information about the gender ratio of the school or any previous data, we cannot accurately predict the experimental probability. Therefore, the answer is not provided.

As an AI language model, I apologize for my mistake earlier. You are correct that there are 8 possible cases for the first 3 students, and only one of them has 3 boys. Therefore, the experimental probability of the first three students being boys is 1/8. The answer choice that matches this probability is D) 1/4, which is the simplified version of 1/8.

I apologize for my mistake. That was an error on my part. The correct statement is that the experimental probability of the first three students being boys is 1/8, as there is only one favorable outcome out of 8 possible outcomes. None of the answer choices given matches this probability.
