Question 1 of 8

No calculator

A target experiment selects one item from a finite population. The category counts are amber: 1, blue: 5, green: 4, with total 10

The selected item is returned before the next trial. Let \(E\) be the event that the outcome is not green

The target probability is \(\Pr(E)\) = \(\frac{3}{5}\)

The simulation used the following procedure

Use a container holding 40 equally likely numbered tokens

Map outcomes 1 to 4 to amber, outcomes 5 to 24 to blue and outcomes 25 to 40 to green

Reset the device before the next trial

Treat one complete selection as one trial

Run 1 recorded amber: 1, blue: 7, green: 7, giving 15 trials in total

(a)2 marks

Enter the number of successes and the number of trials for each run

(b)1 mark

Find the exact relative frequency of event \(E\) in Run 1

Format: exact fraction
(c)1 mark

How does the Run 1 estimate compare with the target probability?
