Question

culating experimental probability from a table
the results of a blind taste test expe ment are shown in the table. what
is the experimental probability of a r idomly chosen food item tasting
sweet?

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total number of trials

Total frequency = \(8 + 3+5 + 9=25\)

Step2: Use experimental probability formula

Experimental probability \(P=\frac{\text{Frequency of event}}{\text{Total frequency}}\). For the event of tasting sweet, frequency is \(3\) and total frequency is \(25\). So \(P = \frac{3}{25}\)

Answer:

\(\frac{3}{25}\)
