To find the probability of either athlete A or D winning the event based on the simulation results, we first need to calculate the total number of wins by athletes A and D.
From the table provided:
- Athlete A won 59 times.
- Athlete D won 38 times.
Now, we can calculate the total number of wins for A and D: \[ \text{Total Wins (A and D)} = \text{Wins by A} + \text{Wins by D} = 59 + 38 = 97 \]
Next, we find the total number of simulations: \[ \text{Total Simulations} = 200 \]
Now we can calculate the probability of either athlete A or D winning: \[ \text{Probability (A or D)} = \frac{\text{Total Wins (A and D)}}{\text{Total Simulations}} = \frac{97}{200} \]
Calculating this gives: \[ \frac{97}{200} = 0.485 \]
Thus, the probability of athlete A or D winning the event is 0.485.
The correct answer is C) 0.485.
