Question

Ronna is recording what kind of shoes people are wearing at the mall. Out of 13 people she has seen, 2 are wearing boots. What is the experimental probability that the next person Ronna sees will be wearing boots?

Answer 1

There is 0.1538 or 15.38% probability that the next person Rona sees will be wearing boots.

Explanation:

Total number of People = 13

People wearing boot = 2

Experimental Probability = Number of times event occurs / Total Number of Trials

Experimental Probability = 2 / 13

Experimental Probability = 0.1538

Or

Experimental Probability = 15.38%

So, there is 0.1538 or 15.38% probability that the next person Rona sees will be wearing boots.
