The experimental probability is given as:


P(\text{event)}=\frac{\text{ number of times event occurs}}{\text{ total number of trials}}

In this case the total number of trials is 18 and the number of times the event occurs is 4, then:


P(blond)=(4)/(18)=(2)/(9)

Therefore the probability that the next client to get a haircut have blond hair is 2/9.
