A footballer took penalties on two days.
Day 1: 30 attempts, 24 scored. Day 2: 20 attempts, 14 scored.
Does pooling the data give a higher or lower experimental probability of scoring than Day 1 alone?

  • ALower (0.76 vs 0.8)
  • BHigher (0.84 vs 0.8)
  • CSame (0.8 vs 0.8)
  • DLower (0.70 vs 0.8)

Step-by-Step Solution

Day 1 P = 24/30 = 0.8. Pooled = (24+14)/(30+20) = 38/50 = 0.76, which is lower than 0.8.
Answer: A) Lower (0.76 vs 0.8)
