I have this question:
Barry is doing an experiment. He drop 20 matchsticks at random onto a grid of parallel lines.
Barry does the experiment 10 times and records his results. He wants to work out an estimate of probability

Number of the 20 match sticks which have fallen across a line
5 7 6 4 6 8 5 3 5 7

Use Barrys data to work out the probability that a single match stick when dropped will fall across one of the lines
