Final answer:

To find the experimental probability, divide the number of people with hazel eyes by the total number of people who signed up. The experimental probability is 4/9.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the experimental probability that the next person to sign up will have hazel eyes, we divide the number of people with hazel eyes by the total number of people who signed up. In this case, 8 out of 18 people have hazel eyes.

Experimental probability = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of outcomes

Experimental probability = 8 / 18 = 4/9

So the experimental probability that the next person to sign up will have hazel eyes is 4/9.

Answer: 0.8 or 80%

Step-by-step explanation:

there’s 8 ppl with hazel eyes, which leaves 10 others that don’t have hazel eyes. So try dividing 8 by 10, which is 0.8 which also equals to 80% that’s how I got this answer. I hope this helps!
