Question

tasty things bakery recently sold 20 desserts, including 2 slices of pie. what is the experimental probability that the next dessert sold will be a slice of pie?
write your answer as a fraction or whole number.
p(slice of pie) =

Explanation:

Step1: Define experimental probability

Experimental probability = $\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$

Step2: Plug in given values

Favorable outcomes (pie slices) = 2, Total outcomes (desserts sold) = 20
Expression: $P(\text{slice of pie}) = \frac{2}{20}$

Step3: Simplify the fraction

Divide numerator and denominator by 2: $\frac{2\div2}{20\div2} = \frac{1}{10}$

Answer:

$\frac{1}{10}$
