Answer: option C. Emily got 12 text messages, adn 5 were from Jasmine. The probability a text message is from Jasmine is 5/12.

Step-by-step explanation:

All the other options are theoretical probabilities because they were determined using the equation:

probablity = number of positive events / total number of possible events.

While, experimental probabilities are determined from actual results of an experiment (test). That is what the option C. describes. It compares the number of times that she actually got a message (5) with the number of trials (12). It is not determined theoretically.
