Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Recall experimental - probability formula

Experimental probability (P(A)=\frac{\text{Number of times event }A\text{ occurred}}{\text{Total number of trials}})

Step2: Identify values

The number of times chocolate cake was chosen (event occurred) is 3, and the total number of cake - samples chosen (total trials) is 9.

Step3: Calculate probability

(P(\text{chocolate})=\frac{3}{9}=\frac{1}{3})

Answer:

(\frac{1}{3})
