Henry's Pizza sells pizza by the slice for lunch. An employee recorded how many slices of each type of pizza were sold today.
onion 4
pepperoni 36
cheese 20
supreme 6
veggie 16
What is the experimental probability that the first slice sold during lunch tomorrow will be a slice of cheese pizza?
There were a total of 82 slices sold today (4+36+20+6+16). The probability of the first slice being cheese pizza would be the number of cheese slices sold divided by the total number of slices sold: 20/82 or approximately 0.244 or 24.4%.
Therefore, the experimental probability that the first slice sold during lunch tomorrow will be a slice of cheese pizza is 0.244 or 24.4%.
