Question

A gumball machine dispensed 161 gumballs last week, of which 27 were white. What is the experimental probability that the next gumball dispensed will be white?

Simplify your answer and write it as a fraction or whole number.

Answer 1

The same as we have been doing in early questions.

Can you tell me how you would set this up?

Answer 2

I don't know if it would be correct, but can you please check?
I think we would add 27+161 = 188
27/188 which is already in simplest form
or 27/161 which is also in simplest form

Answer 3

I don't know if it's 27/188 or 27/161 >.<

Answer 4

It is 27/161

161 dispensed of which 27 were white so that means 27 of the 161.
