A candy machine contains 100 gumballs: 23 grape, 26 blueberry, 16 cherry, and 35 strawberry. What is the experimental probability of choosing a blueberry gumball as a percent and a fraction?
P(blueberry)=# of blueberry gumballs
---------------------
total # of gumballs
P(bluebery) = 26/100 = 13/50
The experimental probability of choosing a blueberry gumball is 13/50 or 26%.
yes, true
thanks
To calculate the experimental probability of choosing a blueberry gumball, you need to divide the number of blueberry gumballs by the total number of gumballs in the machine.
In this case, there are 26 blueberry gumballs and a total of 100 gumballs. So, the probability of choosing a blueberry gumball is 26/100.
To express this probability as a fraction, it simplifies to 13/50.
To express this probability as a percentage, multiply the fraction by 100 to get 26%.
