Question

the results of a blind taste test experiment are shown in the table. the table has two rows: flavor with entries salty, sweet, spicy, sour and frequency with entries 8, 3, 5, 9. what is the experimental probability of a randomly chosen food item tasting sweet? options: 3/25, 1/3, 3, 25.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total frequency

Sum the frequencies: $8 + 3 + 5 + 9 = 25$.

Step2: Find probability of sweet

Probability = $\frac{\text{Frequency of sweet}}{\text{Total frequency}} = \frac{3}{25}$.

Answer:

$\frac{3}{25}$
