A miniature golf course recently provided its customers with a variety of colored golf balls.

Question

red 2
white 1
pink 10
blue 2
green 5
What is the experimental probability that the next customer will receive a pink golf ball?

Answer 1

The total number of colored golf balls is 20 (2+1+10+2+5). The number of pink golf balls is 10. Therefore, the experimental probability of a customer receiving a pink golf ball is 10/20 or 1/2 which simplifies to 0.5 or 50%. So there is a 50% chance that the next customer will receive a pink golf ball.
