tasty things bakery recently sold 20 desserts, including 2 slices of pie. what is the experimental probability that the next dessert sold will be a slice of pie? write your answer as a fraction or whole number. p(slice of pie) =

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Recall probability formula

The experimental - probability formula is $P(A)=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$.

Step2: Identify favorable and total outcomes

The number of favorable outcomes (slices of pie sold) is 2, and the total number of outcomes (total desserts sold) is 20.

Step3: Calculate the probability

$P(\text{slice of pie})=\frac{2}{20}=\frac{1}{10}$

Answer:

$\frac{1}{10}$
