Question

rebecca supplies costumes to a number of theater companies and recently lent out a number of different hats.
turbans: 6
berets: 3
mortarboards: 3
top hats: 2
what is the experimental probability that the next hat requested from rebeccas inventory will be a turban?
write your answer as a fraction or whole number.
p(turban) =

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total number of hats

$6 + 3+3 + 2=14$

Step2: Calculate probability of turban

The number of turbans is 6. The probability formula is $P(A)=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$. So $P(\text{turban})=\frac{6}{14}=\frac{3}{7}$

Answer:

$\frac{3}{7}$
