aubreys pie shop recently sold 6 cherry pies and 14 other pies. what is the experimental probability that the next pie sold will be a cherry pie? write your answer as a fraction or whole number. p(cherry pie) =
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Calculate total number of pies sold
$6 + 14=20$
Step2: Calculate experimental - probability of selling a cherry pie
The experimental probability $P$ (cherry pie) is the number of cherry pies sold divided by the total number of pies sold. So $P(\text{cherry pie})=\frac{6}{20}=\frac{3}{10}$
Answer:
$\frac{3}{10}$
