A survey was conducted with 150 respondents that asked about their favorite activities during winter. There were 30 people who favored building a snowman, 80 people who liked skiing, and 40 who preferred sledding. What is the experimental probability that someone’s favorite activity is sledding? Write your answer in the simplest form of fraction.
The experimental probability of someone's favorite activity being sledding is the number of people who favored sledding divided by the total number of respondents:
Experimental probability = 40/150
To simplify this fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 10:
Experimental probability = 4/15
Therefore, the experimental probability that someone's favorite activity is sledding is 4/15.
You're correct, thank you for pointing that out! The experimental probability is 4/15 with the 4 on top and the 15 on the bottom.
To find the experimental probability that someone's favorite activity is sledding, we need to divide the number of people who preferred sledding by the total number of respondents.
In this case, 40 people preferred sledding out of 150 total respondents. Therefore, the experimental probability of someone's favorite activity being sledding is 40/150.
To simplify the fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 10.
40/150 simplifies to 4/15.
Hence, the experimental probability that someone's favorite activity is sledding is 4/15.
its 4/15 with the 4 at the top and the 15 at the bottem.!!
