Question

4.1 empirical probability. empirical probability. flavor frequency salty 8 sweet 3 spicy 5 sour 9 the results of a blind taste test experiment are shown in the table. what is the experimental probability of a randomly chosen food item tasting sweet? 25 3 $\frac{1}{3}$ $\frac{3}{25}$

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total frequency

$8 + 3+5 + 9=25$

Step2: Calculate probability of sweet

The frequency of sweet is 3. The experimental - probability formula is $P=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$. So the probability of a randomly - chosen food item tasting sweet is $\frac{3}{25}$.

Answer:

$\frac{3}{25}$
