Question

of the last 16 people at a carnival booth, 6 won a prize. what is the experimental probability that the next person at the booth will win a prize? write your answer as a fraction or whole number. p(win) =

Explanation:

Step1: Recall probability formula

The experimental - probability formula is $P(A)=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$.

Step2: Identify favorable and total outcomes

The number of people who won a prize (favorable outcomes) is 6, and the total number of people observed is 16.

Step3: Calculate the probability

$P(\text{win})=\frac{6}{16}=\frac{3}{8}$

Answer:

$\frac{3}{8}$
