christinas pizza sells pizza by the slice for lunch. today, they sold 76 slices, including 20 slices of pepperoni pizza. what is the experimental probability that the first slice sold during lunch tomorrow will be a slice of pepperoni pizza? write your answer as a fraction or whole number. p(pepperoni) =

christinas pizza sells pizza by the slice for lunch. today, they sold 76 slices, including 20 slices of pepperoni pizza. what is the experimental probability that the first slice sold during lunch tomorrow will be a slice of pepperoni pizza? write your answer as a fraction or whole number. p(pepperoni) =

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Recall probability formula

The experimental - probability formula is $P(A)=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$.

Step2: Identify favorable and total outcomes

The number of favorable outcomes (slices of pepperoni pizza) is 20, and the total number of outcomes (total slices sold) is 76.

Step3: Calculate the probability

$P(\text{pepperoni})=\frac{20}{76}=\frac{5}{19}$

Answer:

$\frac{5}{19}$
