Hudson is performing an experiment by tossing a paper cup into the air and recording how it lands. he determines that there are three possible outcomes for how the cup will land: on its top, on its bottom, or on its side. he is curious if the three outcomes are equally likely. the table below shows the results of hudson's experiment. outcome frequency top 4 bottom 1 side 25 from the results of hudson's experiment, do the three outcomes appear to be equally likely? explain your reasoning using complete sentences.

No, the three outcomes are not equally likely to occur.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a table, which shows the three possible outcomes for how the cup will land: on its top, on its bottom, or on its side.

From our table we can see that cup lands on its top 4 times, on its bottom 1 time and on its side 25 times.

Let us find probability of each outcome.

Since the outcomes of an experiment are equally likely to occur, when the probability of each outcome is equal.

We can see that probability of cup landing on its side is 0.833, which is greater than the probability of cup landing on its top (0.133) and cup landing on its bottom (0.033).

Since the probabilities of 3 outcomes are different, therefore, three outcomes of Hudson's experiment are not equally likely to occur.
