Question

so far this season, kristen scored 6 goals and missed on her 33 other shots on goal. what is the experimental probability that kristen will score a goal on her next shot? write your answer as a fraction or whole number. p(goal) =

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total number of shots

The total number of shots is the sum of the number of goals and the number of missed - shots. So, the total number of shots $n=6 + 33=39$.

Step2: Calculate experimental probability

The experimental probability $P$ (goal) of scoring a goal is the number of goals divided by the total number of shots. So, $P(\text{goal})=\frac{6}{39}=\frac{2}{13}$.

Answer:

$\frac{2}{13}$
