irma supplies costumes to a number of theater companies. she recently provided 18 different hats, including 4 fedoras. what is the experimental probability that the next hat requested from irmas inventory will be a fedora? write your answer as a fraction or whole number. p(fedora) =
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Identificar el número de casos favorables
El número de fedoras es 4.
Step2: Identificar el número total de casos
El número total de sombreros es 18.
Step3: Calcular la probabilidad
La probabilidad experimental $P(A)$ se calcula como $\frac{\text{casos favorables}}{\text{casos totales}}$. Entonces $P(\text{fedora})=\frac{4}{18}$. Simplificando, $\frac{4}{18}=\frac{2}{9}$.
Answer:
$\frac{2}{9}$
