a high school choir has had 6 bass singers and 18 other singers join so far. what is the experimental probability that the next student to join will be a bass singer? write your answer as a fraction or whole number. p(bass singer) =
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Find total number of singers
$6 + 18=24$
Step2: Calculate probability of bass - singer
The probability $P$ (bass singer) is the number of bass - singers divided by the total number of singers. So $P(\text{bass singer})=\frac{6}{24}=\frac{1}{4}$
Answer:
$\frac{1}{4}$
