a grocery store recently sold several cans of soup, cream of mushroom 2 chicken noodle 40 minestrone 7 lentil 12 vegetable beef 27 what is the experimental probability that the next can sold will be chicken noodle soup? write your answer as a fraction or whole number. p(chicken noodle) =

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total cans sold

$2 + 40+7 + 12+27=88$

Step2: Calculate experimental probability

The number of chicken - noodle cans sold is 40. The experimental probability formula is $P=\frac{\text{number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{total number of outcomes}}$. So $P(\text{chicken noodle})=\frac{40}{88}$

Answer:

$\frac{40}{88}$
