Answer:

0.5

Explanation:

P(event) = number of times event occurs/ total number of trials

Hi, You are the person I answered last time!

P(event) = 8/16

8/16 simplified is equaled to 1/2.

1/2 is equaled to 0.5

Again, I'm pretty sure this is right because it says experimental probability... I hope this helps!
