What is probability? Describe classical, empirical, and
subjective probability, and provide "real-world" examples of each.
How can each of these types of probability apply to the business
world? Do you think any one type is more useful in business than
the others? Why or why not?
The student will compare and contrast empirical data and a
theoretical distribution to determine if Terry Vogel's lap times
fit a continuous distribution.
Directions :
Round the relative frequencies and probabilities to four decimal
places. Carry all other decimal answers to two places.
Collect the Data
1. Use a stratified sampling method by lap (races 1 to 20) and a
random number generator to pick six lap times from each stratum.
Record the lap times below for laps two to...
