Question

hometown donuts recently sold 19 donuts, of which 6 were cream - filled donuts. what is the experimental probability that the next donut sold will be a cream - filled donut? write your answer as a fraction or whole number. p(cream - filled donut) =

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 total number of donuts sold is 19, so the total number of outcomes is 19. The number of cream - filled donuts sold is 6, so the number of favorable outcomes is 6.

Step3: Calculate the probability

Using the formula $P(\text{cream - filled donut})=\frac{6}{19}$.

Answer:

$\frac{6}{19}$
