Question

Please help! Correct answer only please! I need to finish this assignment by today.

City Donuts recently sold 12 donuts, of which 6 were maple donuts. What is the experimental probability that the next donut sold will be a maple donut?

Simplify your answer and write it as a fraction or whole number.

P(maple donut) =

Answer 1

P(maple donut) = 0.5

Explanation:

If they sold 12 donuts, of which 6 of them were Maple Donuts.

The experimental probability of donuts sold that were maple donuts is:

`(6)/(12)=(1)/(2)=0.5`

Therefore donuts sold in the future, would follow this probability, so our answer is 0.5.

Answer 2

1/2

Explanation:

Out of a total 12 donuts, 6 of them are maple. Assuming this ratio stays constant, the experimental probability that the next one sold is a maple donut is 6/12=1/2. Hope this helps!
