Answer:

Experimental probability [popping a polka dot balloon] = 1 / 8

Explanation:

Number of striped balloons = 17

Number of solid balloons = 18

Number of polka dot balloons = 5

F ind:

Experimental probability [popping a polka dot balloon]

Computation:

Experimental probability [popping a polka dot balloon] = Number of polka dot balloons / Total number of balloons

Experimental probability [popping a polka dot balloon] = 5 / [17 + 18 + 5]

Experimental probability [popping a polka dot balloon] = 5 / 40

Experimental probability [popping a polka dot balloon] = 1 / 8
