Question

Gerald is conducting an experiment with 3 possible outcomes. Kasey is conducting an experiment with 20 possible outcomes. Which statement best relates the sample space to the number of trials needed to produce results similar to their predicted outcomes? a. Gerald will need to conduct more trials than Kasey because there are fewer possible outcomes in his experiment b. Gerald will need to conduct fewer trials than Kasey because there are fewer possible outcomes in his experiment c. Gerald will need to conduct more trials because he needs to make for the difference in the number of possible outcomes d. Gerald will need to conduct fewer trials because experimental and theoretical results in experiments with small numbers of possible outcomes are the same

Explanation / Answer

For result ssimilar to predicted outcomes, Gerald need to cocnduct fewer trials, because experimental (obtained using minimum of 20 trials) and theoretical results in experiments (obtained using formulas) with small number of possible outcomes are same. d)
