Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Define experimental probability

Experimental probability = $\frac{\text{Number of successful trials}}{\text{Total number of trials}}$

Step2: Plug in given values

Successful trials (pretzels) = 5, total trials = 10 $\text{Probability} = \frac{5}{10} = \frac{1}{2}$

Answer:

$\frac{1}{2}$ or 0.5
