poppy seed bagels 4
What is the experimental probability that the next bagel sold will be a poppy seed bagel?
The experimental probability that the next bagel sold will be a poppy seed bagel can be calculated by dividing the number of poppy seed bagels sold by the total number of bagels sold:
Experimental probability = Number of poppy seed bagels / Total number of bagels
= 4 / (6 + 6 + 4)
= 4 / 16
= 1/4
Therefore, the experimental probability is 1/4 or 0.25.
To find the experimental probability of the next bagel being a poppy seed bagel, we need to divide the number of poppy seed bagels sold by the total number of bagels sold in all flavors.
The total number of bagels sold in all flavors is:
6 (plain bagels) + 6 (onion bagels) + 4 (poppy seed bagels) = 16 bagels
The number of poppy seed bagels sold is 4.
So, the experimental probability of the next bagel being a poppy seed bagel is:
4 (number of poppy seed bagels sold) / 16 (total number of bagels sold) = 1/4 = 0.25 = 25%
