SHORT ANSWER. Write the word or phrase that best completes each statement or answers the question.Solve the problem.45)(a) Roll a pair of dice 40 times, recording the sum each time. Use your results toapproximate the probability of getting a sum of 8.(b) Roll a pair of dice 100 times, recording the sum each time. Use your results toapproximate the probability of getting a sum of 8.Compare the results of (a) and (b) to the probability that would be obtained using theclassical method.Which answer was closer to the probability that would be obtained using the classicalmethod? Is this what you would expect?45)Answer:Answers to parts (a) and (b) will vary. Using the classical method, the probability ofgetting a sum of 8 is536.In general, as the number of repetitions of a probability experiment increases, thecloser the empirical probability should get to the classical probability.46)(a) Simulate the experiment of sampling 100 four-child families to estimate the probabilitythat a four-child family has three girls. Assume that the outcomes "have a girl" and "have aboy" are equally likely.(b) Simulate the experiment of sampling 1000 four-child families to estimate theprobability that a four-child family has three girls. Assume that the outcomes "have a girl"and "have a boy" are equally likely.The classical probability that a four-child family has three girls is14.Compare the results of (a) and (b) to the probability that would be obtained using theclassical method.Which answer was closer to the probability that would be obtained using the classicalmethod? Is this what you would expect?46)Answer:Answers to parts (a) and (b) will vary.The answer in part (b) is likely to be closer to the classical probability of14.In general, as the number of repetitions of a probability experiment increases, thecloser the empirical probability should get to the classical probability.8

47)(a) Use a graphing calculator or statistical software to simulate drawing a card from astandard deck 100 times (with replacement of the card after each draw). Use an integerdistribution with numbers 1 through 4 and use the results of the simulation to estimate theprobability of getting a spade when a card is drawn from a standard deck.(b) Simulate drawing a card from a standard deck 400 times (with replacement of the cardafter each draw). Estimate the probability of getting a spade when a card is drawn from astandard deck.Compare the results of (a) and (b) to the probability that would be obtained using theclassical method.Which simulation resulted in the closest estimate to the probability that would be obtainedusing the classical method?
