hunter made cookies for a bake sale. so far, he has sold 16 cookies in the shape of a dog and 74 cookies in other shapes. what is the experimental probability that the next cookie sold will be in the shape of a dog? write your answer as a fraction or whole number. p(dog) =
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Calculate total number of cookies
$16 + 74=90$
Step2: Calculate experimental - probability
The experimental probability $P(\text{dog})$ is the number of dog - shaped cookies divided by the total number of cookies. So $P(\text{dog})=\frac{16}{90}=\frac{8}{45}$
Answer:
$\frac{8}{45}$
