Question

Tyler recorded the hair color and eye color of students walking in the hallway in front of his science class. What is the experimental probability that the next student he sees will have blue eyes?

Answer 1

0.475

Explanation:

Given: Table showing information regarding eye color and hair color of students

To find: probability that the next student Tyler sees will have blue eyes

Solution:

Probability refers to chances of occurrence of an event.

Probability = number of favourable outcomes/total number of outcomes

Total number of students =
`9+5+12+14=40\\`

Number of students who have blue eyes =
`5+14=19`

So,

probability that the next student Tyler sees will have blue eyes =
`(19)/(40)=0.475`
