Question

what is the experimental probability that a randomly selected student plans to take dance?Write your answer as a fraction or a whole number.P(dance)=_____

Answer 1

First, let's find the total number of students. Let's call it N(total).

So we have:

`N(\text{total)}=6+5+4+15+3=33`

Now, we will also need the number of students that plan to take dance. Let's call it N(dance). This value is equal to 15.

Finally, to find the experimental probability, let's use the formula:

`\begin{gathered} P(\text{dance)}=\frac{N(\text{dance)}}{N(\text{total)}} \\ P(\text{dance)}=(15)/(33) \\ P(\text{dance)}=(5)/(11) \end{gathered}`

So the probability is 5/11.
