at a carnival booth, 14 people won a prize and 21 people did not. what is the experimental probability that the next person at the booth will win a prize? simplify your answer and write it as a fraction or whole number. p(win) =
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Calculate total number of people
$14 + 21=35$
Step2: Calculate experimental - probability
$P(\text{win})=\frac{\text{Number of people who won}}{\text{Total number of people}}=\frac{14}{35}$
Step3: Simplify the fraction
$\frac{14\div7}{35\div7}=\frac{2}{5}$
Answer:
$\frac{2}{5}$
