Toss a paper cup into the air \(100\) times. After each toss, record whether the cup lands on its bottom, upside down on its top or on its side. Assign probabilities to the outcomes by using experimental probability.
Solution:
The results of tossing a paper cup are as follows:
| Outcome | Number of times |
| Landed on the bottom | 26 |
| Lands upside down | 45 |
| Landed on the side | 29 |
1. Probability of the cup landing on the bottom \(=\)
2. Probability of the cup landing upside down \(=\)
3. Probability of the cup landing on the side \(=\)
(Note: Round off to \(2\) decimal places if necessary.)
