write your answer as a fraction or whole number.
p(play at the water table) =

Explanation:

Step1: Recall probability formula

Probability \( P=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}} \)

Step2: Identify values

Number of favorable outcomes (children who played at water table) \( = 1 \), total number of children \( = 15 \)

Step3: Calculate probability

\( P=\frac{1}{15} \)

Answer:

\(\frac{1}{15}\)
