a. Experimental probabilities: Comedy
, Drama
, Action
, Documentary
. b. Predicted 10 students out of 60 would choose drama based on experimental probability.
a. Experimental probability is calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of outcomes.
- Comedy:
- Drama:
- Action:
- Documentary:
b. To predict how many students out of 60 would choose drama, multiply the probability of drama by the total number of students:
Therefore, the prediction is that 10 students out of 60 would choose drama as their favorite type of movie.
