Question

Of the last 20 contestants on a game show, 8 won a prize. What is the experimental probability that the next contestant will win a prize?

Answer 1

- There were 20 recent contestants on the game show
- Out of those 20 contestants, 8 won a prize
- So the experimental probability of winning a prize is:
- Number who won / Total number of contestants
- Which is:
- 8 / 20
- = 0.4

Therefore, the experimental probability that the next contestant will win a prize is 0.4.
