Answer:

The Answwer on Khan Academy is A 23/111

Explanation:

When we compute the probability of a future event based on our observations of past events, we call this experimental probability.

\qquad\text{Experimental probability} = \dfrac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}Experimental probability=

Total number of outcomes

Number of favorable outcomes

start text, E, x, p, e, r, i, m, e, n, t, a, l, space, p, r, o, b, a, b, i, l, i, t, y, end text, equals, start fraction, start text, N, u, m, b, e, r, space, o, f, space, f, a, v, o, r, a, b, l, e, space, o, u, t, c, o, m, e, s, end text, divided by, start text, T, o, t, a, l, space, n, u, m, b, e, r, space, o, f, space, o, u, t, c, o, m, e, s, end text, end fraction

Hint #22 / 3

\qquad\text{Number of favorable outcomes} = {23}Number of favorable outcomes=23start text, N, u, m, b, e, r, space, o, f, space, f, a, v, o, r, a, b, l, e, space, o, u, t, c, o, m, e, s, end text, equals, 23

\qquad\text{Total number of outcomes} = {111}Total number of outcomes=111start text, T, o, t, a, l, space, n, u, m, b, e, r, space, o, f, space, o, u, t, c, o, m, e, s, end text, equals, 111

Hint #33 / 3

The probability that the next fountain drink ordered is a lemonade is \dfrac{23}{111}

111

23

start fraction, 23, divided by, 111, end fraction.
