Answer 1

no the correct answer is gonna be 1/5

Answer 2

0.2 = 20% experimental probability that the next student Sanjay talks to will pick Spanish

Explanation:

Probability:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

It is called experimental when both these number of outcomes come from experiences, from a trial, as is the case in this exercise.

What is the experimental probability that the next student Sanjay talks to will pick Spanish?

19 out of 95. So

p = 19/95 = 0.2

0.2 = 20% experimental probability that the next student Sanjay talks to will pick Spanish
