The table shows the results of 500 experiments. Each experiment involved one person choosing one card from each of two identic decks of cards, labeled 1 through 5. What is the experimental probability of a person choosing a 2, then a 3? Express the answer as percent. ( I really need help with this, I tried looking at my notes and my brain literally can’t function )

Unfortunately, I cannot see the table you mentioned. However, I can explain how to calculate experimental probability and apply it to the given situation.

Experimental probability is the ratio of the number of times an event occurs to the total number of trials or experiments conducted. In this case, the event is a person choosing a 2, then a 3 from two identical decks of cards labeled 1 through 5.

Let's say we conducted 500 experiments, and in 50 of those experiments, a person chose a 2, then a 3. Then the experimental probability of choosing a 2, then a 3 is:

Experimental probability = (Number of times the event occurred) / (Total number of experiments) = 50 / 500 = 0.1

To express this as a percent, we simply multiply by 100:

Experimental probability as percent = 0.1 x 100% = 10%

Therefore, the experimental probability of a person choosing a 2, then a 3 from two identical decks of cards labeled 1 through 5, based on 500 experiments, is 10%.
