To determine the experimental probability that in a cabin of 8 campers, none is from out of state, we need to count the number of times Megan's random digits did not include 0 or 1. Looking through the table, we see that the following entries meet this criteria:
69531217
12468503
20312346
52974168
That is a total of 4 out of 20 entries. So the experimental probability is:
4/20 = 1/5
Therefore, the answer is C. One-fifth.
At a summer camp, 20% of the students come from out of state. Megan wants to simulate cabins of 8 campers. She generates random digits from 0 to 9 and lets the digits 0 and 1 represent a camper from out of state. The table below shows her results.
