Question

A restaurant owner made a list of the number of meals ordered last night. She found that 42 people ordered chicken Parmesan, 39 ordered spaghetti and 29 ordered meatballs. Based on this data, what is the experimental probability that the next person will order meatballs?

Answer 1

29/110

Explanation:

There are a total of 110 orders at the restaurant, so that will serve as the denominator. There are 29 meatballs, so that will be the numerator. Combine the two and you get 29/110. Experimental probability is what happens in the experiment like this question. Theoretical probability is "real math" as in 1/3.
