Question

wayne recorded the eye colors of the people who have already signed up for a lecture on genetics.
green 2
blue 30
brown 38
what is the experimental probability that the next person to sign up will have blue eyes?
write your answer as a fraction or whole number.
p(blue) =

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total number of people

Total = \(2 + 30+38=70\)

Step2: Calculate experimental probability

Experimental probability formula: \(P(\text{event})=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}\). For blue - eyed people, number of favorable outcomes \(=30\), total number of outcomes \(=70\). So \(P(\text{blue})=\frac{30}{70}=\frac{3}{7}\)

Answer:

\(\frac{3}{7}\)
