At an ice cream shop, 2 of the last 16 cones sold had chocolate ice cream. What is the experimental probability that the next cone sold will have chocolate ice cream?
The experimental probability is based on the actual outcomes of a real-world experiment or observation. In this case, we are given that out of the last 16 cones sold, 2 had chocolate ice cream. Therefore, the experimental probability of the next cone sold having chocolate ice cream is:
Experimental probability = (Number of times chocolate ice cream was sold) / (Total number of cones sold)
Experimental probability = 2/16
Experimental probability = 1/8
Therefore, the experimental probability that the next cone sold will have chocolate ice cream is 1/8.
