leah works at an appliance store. she recorded her recent sales. washing machines 5, dishwashers 1, ovens 6, clothes dryers 5. what is the experimental probability that the next appliance leah sells will be an oven? write your answer as a fraction or whole number. p(oven) =

Explanation:

Step1: Find total number of sales

$3 + 1+6 + 5=15$

Step2: Find number of oven - sales

Number of oven - sales is 6.

Step3: Calculate experimental probability

Experimental probability $P(\text{oven})=\frac{\text{Number of oven - sales}}{\text{Total number of sales}}=\frac{6}{15}=\frac{2}{5}$

Answer:

$\frac{2}{5}$
