: : : : : 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.

:
: It can land with the point laying down on the countertop.

Sorry Tommy. Can't help you out. I have similar questions.
