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.(1 point) bot
The experimental probability that someone's favorite activity is sledding is:
Number of people who preferred sledding / Total number of respondents
= 40 / 150
= 4 / 15
Therefore, the answer is 4/15.
To find the experimental probability of someone's favorite activity being sledding, divide the number of people who preferred sledding (40) by the total number of respondents (150):
Experimental probability = Number of people who preferred sledding / Total number of respondents
Experimental probability = 40 / 150
Simplifying the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 10, we get:
Experimental probability = 4 / 15
Therefore, the experimental probability that someone's favorite activity is sledding is 4/15.
