Answer:

The experimental probability that Tim hits the bull's-eye is
(2)/(5)

Explanation:

Tim throws darts at a dartboard that has numbers 1 through 20 and a bull's-eye in the middle.

Tim throws a dart 40 times, and he hits the bull's-eye 16 times.

Experimental probability is the ratio of the number of hits/success to the number of trials.

So, the experimental probability that Tim hits the bull's-eye is =
(16)/(40)=(2)/(5) or 0.4.
