The experimental probability \( P(mint) \) of the next chocolate sold having mint filling is calculated by taking the number of chocolates with mint filling sold and dividing it by the total number of chocolates sold.
In this case:
- Number of chocolates sold with mint filling = 93
- Total number of chocolates sold = 217
Thus, the probability \( P(mint) \) is:
\[
P(mint) = \frac{\text{Number of mint chocolates}}{\text{Total number of chocolates}} = \frac{93}{217}
\]
Therefore, the experimental probability that the next chocolate sold will have mint filling is:
\[
P(mint) = \frac{93}{217}
\]
In this case:
- Number of chocolates sold with mint filling = 93
- Total number of chocolates sold = 217
Thus, the probability \( P(mint) \) is:
\[
P(mint) = \frac{\text{Number of mint chocolates}}{\text{Total number of chocolates}} = \frac{93}{217}
\]
Therefore, the experimental probability that the next chocolate sold will have mint filling is:
\[
P(mint) = \frac{93}{217}
\]
