Question

Glen surveyed 60 people at a coffee shop. He found that 27 individuals selected iced coffee as their favorite beverage. What is the experimental probability that the next person will select iced coffee as their favorite?

Answer 1

45%, 9/20, etc.

Explanation:

Well, if it is 27 out of the 60, then you can divide each by 3 to get 9/20. Then, you multiply both by 5, and get 45/100. Therefore, the probability is 45% or 9/20, however you put it.
