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 student who plans to take dance

The number of students who plan to take dance is 15. The probability formula is $P(A)=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$. So $P(\text{dance})=\frac{15}{33}=\frac{5}{11}$

Answer:

$\frac{5}{11}$
