18% 23% 28% 29% 32%

Answer 1

23% is the correct answer.

Answer 2

Answer: 23%

Explanation:

The total number of apples in the shipment can be calculated by adding up the frequencies of all the different types of apples:

Red Delicious: 28

Honeycrisp: 34

Gala: 40

Golden Delicious: 22

This gives a total of 124 apples.

The experimental probability of selecting a Red Delicious apple is then the frequency of Red Delicious apples (28) divided by the total number of apples (124).

To convert this to a percentage, we multiply by 100.

So, the experimental probability of selecting a Red Delicious apple is approximately
