Question

a party - store recorded recent balloon sales. green 23 blue 17 pink 12 purple 10 orange 7 what is the experimental probability that the next balloon sold will be green? write your answer as a fraction or whole number. p(green) =

Explanation:

Step1: Find total number of balloons sold

Add up the number of each color: $23 + 17+12 + 28+7=87$.

Step2: Calculate experimental - probability of green

The number of green balloons sold is 23. The experimental probability $P(\text{green})$ is the number of green balloons sold divided by the total number of balloons sold. So $P(\text{green})=\frac{23}{87}$.

Answer:

$\frac{23}{87}$
