Relative Frequency You are a games tester. You have been asked to check whether the programmed probabilities in different games actually equate to real outcomes. Estimate the following based on their probabilities… In Super Mario, the probability of a appearing is 0.3. If you ‘Bob-omb’ played 30 times, how many Bob-ombs would you expect to see? In Minecraft, the probability of a appearing is 0.6. If you played ‘creeper’ 20 times, how many creepers would you expect to see? In Pokemon, the probability of appearing is 0.01. If you played ‘gulpin’ 100 times, how many would you expect to see? In Zelda, the probability of a potion being inside a pot is 0.03. If you smashed 200 pots, estimate how many potions you find. In Plants vs Zombies 2, the probability of an armoured zombie spawning is 0.1. Estimate how many will spawn over 24 games Estimated Estimated Estimated P(A) # occurrences P(B) # occurrences P(C) # occurrences of A of B of C 0.1 10 0.01 100 1/8 100 0.2 20 0.23 200 0.97 450 0.3 200 0.45 240 32% 32 0.4 40 0.91 500 1/16 56.25 0.9 50 0.33 900 230 92 Relative Frequency (experiments) Choose your difficulty!
