Answer:
The experimental probability that the next cancelled will be spilt pea soup is 0.143.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Number of soup cans sold in the grocery store = 14
Number of split pea soup = 4
To Find:
The experimental probability that the next cancelled will be spilt pea soup = ?
Solution:
The Experimental Probability is the ratio of number of times the event is occurring to the total number of trials of the experiment.
[tex]\text{Experimental probability} = \frac{ \text{number of occurrences of the event}}{\text{total number of trials made}}[/tex]
Then According to the question
[tex]\text{Experimental probability} = \frac{ \text{number of spilt pea soup }}{\text{total number ofsoup cans}}[/tex]
On substituting the values,
Experimental probability = [tex]\frac{2}{14}[/tex]
Experimental probability = [tex]\frac{1}{7}[/tex]
Experimental probability = 0.143
