The experimental probability is based on the actual outcomes of a real-world experiment or observation. In this case, we are given that out of the last 16 cones sold, 2 had chocolate ice cream. Therefore, the experimental probability of the next cone sold having chocolate ice cream is:
Experimental probability = (Number of times chocolate ice cream was sold) / (Total number of cones sold)
Experimental probability = 2/16
Experimental probability = 1/8
Therefore, the experimental probability that the next cone sold will have chocolate ice cream is 1/8.
At an ice cream shop, 2 of the last 16 cones sold had chocolate ice cream. What is the experimental probability that the next cone sold will have chocolate ice cream?
