eliana is tossing bean bags at a target. so far, she has had 2 hits and 8 misses. what is the experimental probability that elianas next toss will be a hit? write your answer as a fraction or whole number. p(hit) =

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total attempts

The total number of attempts is the sum of hits and misses. So, $2 + 8=10$.

Step2: Calculate experimental - probability

The experimental probability $P(\text{hit})$ of a hit is the number of hits divided by the total number of attempts. So, $P(\text{hit})=\frac{2}{10}=\frac{1}{5}$.

Answer:

$\frac{1}{5}$
