Jolene is playing darts. She hits the bull's-eye 3 times out of 15. What is the experimental probability that she will hit the bull's-eye on her next shot? Express your answer as a percentage. Then, use the experimental probability to predict how many times she will hit the bull's-eye in the next 60 tries.

Question

The experimental probability that she will hit the bull's-eye on her next shot it ___%. In the next 60 tries, she will hit the bull's-eye ___ times.

Answer 1

The experimental probability that Jolene will hit the bull's-eye on her next shot is 3/15 = 1/5 = 0.2 or 20%.

To predict how many times she will hit the bull's-eye in the next 60 tries, we can multiply the experimental probability by the number of tries:
0.2 * 60 = 12

Therefore, in the next 60 tries, Jolene is predicted to hit the bull's-eye 12 times.
