the a

correct

To find the experimental probability of winning a free gallon of milk, you need to determine the ratio of the number of customers who received a star on their receipts to the total number of customers.

In this case, out of the first 138 customers, 129 did not receive a star on their receipts. So, the number of customers who received a star on their receipts is 138 - 129 = 9.

Therefore, the experimental probability of winning a free gallon of milk is 9/138.

However, this fraction can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 3.

So, the simplified fraction is 3/46.

Hence, the correct answer is 3/46.
