Answer:

0.75

Explanation:

Given:

Of the last 12 contestants on a game show, 9 qualified for the next round.

To find:

The experimental probability that the next contestant will qualify for the next round.

Solution:

Probability refers to the chances of occurrence of some event.

Probability = Number of favourable outcomes/Total number of outcomes

Number of contestants who qualify for the next round = 9

Total number of contestants = 12

So,

The experimental probability that the next contestant will qualify for the next round =
(9)/(12)=(3)/(4)=0.75
