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

5 answers

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.
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
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.
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
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.
