Question

A grocery store recently sold 14 cans of soup two of which can stay contained spilt pea soup what is the experimental probability that the next canceled will be spilt pea soup

Answer 1

The experimental probability that the next cancelled will be spilt pea soup is 0.143.

Explanation:

Given:

Number of soup cans sold in the grocery store = 14

Number of split pea soup = 4

To Find:

The experimental probability that the next cancelled will be spilt pea soup = ?

Solution:

The Experimental Probability is the ratio of number of times the event is occurring to the total number of trials of the experiment.

`\text{Experimental probability} = \frac{ \text{number of occurrences of the event}}{\text{total number of trials made}}`

Then According to the question

`\text{Experimental probability} = \frac{ \text{number of spilt pea soup }}{\text{total number ofsoup cans}}`

On substituting the values,

Experimental probability =
`(2)/(14)`

Experimental probability =
`(1)/(7)`

Experimental probability = 0.143
