Question

a music store sold 86 vinyl records last month, 8 of which were hip - hop albums. what is the experimental probability that the next vinyl record sold will be a hip - hop album? write your answer as a fraction or whole number. p(hip - hop) =

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 values

The number of favorable outcomes (hip - hop albums) is 8, and the total number of outcomes (total vinyl records sold) is 86.

Step3: Calculate probability

$P(\text{hip - hop})=\frac{8}{86}=\frac{4}{43}$

Answer:

$\frac{4}{43}$
