At East Coast Dogs, 2 of the last 7 customers wanted mustard on their hot dogs. What is the experimental probability that the next customer will want mustard?

To find the experimental probability that the next customer will want mustard, you need to calculate the ratio of the number of customers who wanted mustard to the total number of customers.

In this scenario, out of the last 7 customers, 2 wanted mustard. Therefore, the ratio of customers who wanted mustard is 2 out of 7.

To calculate the experimental probability, divide the number of customers who wanted mustard by the total number of customers:

Experimental probability = Number of customers who wanted mustard / Total number of customers

Experimental probability = 2 / 7

Therefore, the experimental probability that the next customer will want mustard is approximately 0.2857 or 28.57%.

You can further simplify the fraction by dividing both numbers by their greatest common factor (GCF). In this case, the GCF of 2 and 7 is 1, so the fraction cannot be simplified any further.
