Question

sean surveyed some students at his school about which elective each one planned to take. ceramics 6 band 5 orchestra 4 dance 15 choir 3 what is the experimental probability that a randomly selected student plans to take dance? write your answer as a fraction or whole number. p(dance) =

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total number of students

$6 + 5+4 + 15+3=33$

Step2: Calculate probability of choosing a dance - planning student

The number of students planning to take dance is 15. The probability $P(\text{dance})$ is the number of favorable outcomes (students taking dance) divided by the total number of outcomes (total students). So $P(\text{dance})=\frac{15}{33}=\frac{5}{11}$

Answer:

$\frac{5}{11}$
