a coffee shop recently sold 10 drinks, including 4 mochas. what is the experimental probability that the next drink sold will be a mocha? write your answer as a fraction or whole number. p(mocha) =
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Recall experimental - probability formula
Experimental probability (P(A)=\frac{\text{Number of times event }A\text{ occurred}}{\text{Total number of trials}})
Step2: Identify values for the formula
The number of mochas sold (number of times the event occurred) is (n = 4), and the total number of drinks sold (total number of trials) is (N=10).
Step3: Calculate the probability
(P(\text{mocha})=\frac{4}{10}=\frac{2}{5})
Answer:
(\frac{2}{5})
