Answer 1

To find the experimental probability that a person selected at random is going to City E, you can use the formula for probability:

\[
P(E) = \frac{\text{Number of responses for City E}}{\text{Total number of responses}}
\]

From the table, the number of responses for City E is 6. The total number of responses is 100.

Now, substitute the values into the formula:

\[
P(E) = \frac{6}{100}
\]

Now simplify the fraction:

\[
P(E) = \frac{3}{50}
\]

Therefore, the experimental probability that a person selected at random is going to City E is \(\frac{3}{50}\).
