Question

Irma supplies costumes to a number of theater companies. She recently

provided 18 different hats, including 4 fedoras. What is the experimental
probability that the next hat requested from Irma's inventory will be a
fedora?

Answer 1

The probability is 2/9

Explanation:

Firstly, the total number of hats is 18

Now, from this 18, we have that the number of Fedora hats is 4

So to find the probability, we have to divide the number of Fedora by the total number of hats

Mathematically, we have this as 4/18 = 2/9
