Question

Thirty students were asked what their favorite number from 1 through 9 was. The results were 8 students said 3. 6 students said 4, 9 students said 7, and 2 students said 9. What is the experimental probability that the number 7 was picked as the favorite number?

Answer 1

3/10

Explanation:

From the question, we have the total number of sampled students as 30

9 students said 7 was their favorite

So the experimental probability that we have 7 picked as the favorite number will be the number of respondents who chose 7 as their favorite divided by the total number of respondents

We have this as;

9/30 = 3/10
