: : If I toss a thumbtack 100 times and it has the point facing up 46 times, what is the empirical probability of tossing a U?
: : Using this empirical probability for U, find the probability of tossing 5 U's in 10 tosses.
: : Same questions if the thumbtack is point facing up 50 times.
Sorry it did not make sense. The "U" symbolized the point facing up.
