Answer:

The experimental probability that the next cupcake sold will be a peanut butter cupcake is 1/3

Explanation:

Here, we are tasked with calculating an experimental probability.

To calculate the probability that the next cupcake to be sold will be a peanut butter cake, firstly, we need to know the total number of butter cakes = 2 + 4 = 6 butter cakes

The probability that the next butter cake will be peanut butter cake = Number of peanut butter cakes sold/Total number of butter cakes = 2/6 = 1/3
