Only give two choices of fruit.

Rylee Patterson · Answer 2

Significant difference of 0.20

Step-by-step explanation:

No of student = 20

No of fruits available = 4

EAch student is independent of the other.

Hence theoretical probability that a student will choose a banana is=1/4=0.25.

But actual experiments showed that only 1 student selected banana out of 20

Experimental probability that a student will choose a banana is.=1/20 = 0.05

The difference between the two = 0.25-0.05 = 0.20

Thus there is a significant difference between Experimental probability that a student will choose a banana and theorical probability that a student will choose a banana
