Determine whether the following probability is empirical or classical.In order to find the percentage of bass that Troy had in his pond this spring, he decided to spend three days catching a total of 15 fish each day and counting how many of those were bass.

To answer this question, we need to remember that, in this case, we have that Troy decided to spend three days catching a total of 15 fish each day and counting how many of those were bass.

We can see that he is doing a statistical experiment and the outcomes from this experiment would be the result of doing that series of operations to find the number of basses he could find.

Therefore, as a result of that, he could probably have an approximate value of the real probability obtained using a method whose result will be an empirical probability.

In summary, therefore, the probability that Troy will have is an empirical probability.
