Math's Probability Question

Start off by getting a soccer ball and a line of 20 people.  Get each person out of the 20 to try and kick the
ball into the goal from the halfway line.

Times the goal was missed
Times the goal was scored
13
7


Using the example, what is the probability that someone will score out of those 20 people.
Write your answer in a decimal.

The answer would be 7/20.  We still need to convert the answer to decimals.  7/20 is equal to 35/100,
so it would be .35

  1. Kia ora Archie,

    You have a really clear example of an experimental probability question. Your answer is easy to understand and I'm please you were able to include equivalent fractions which we have looked at previously. Great work.

    Thanks, Mrs Devane
