To find the experimental probability of receiving a menu from a Chinese restaurant, we need to determine the total number of menus and the number of Chinese menus.
From the data provided:
- Chinese: 2
- Japanese: 9
- Mediterranean: 1
- Thai: 2
- Italian: 6
First, we calculate the total number of menus:
\[ \text{Total Menus} = 2 + 9 + 1 + 2 + 6 = 20 \]
Next, we find the experimental probability of receiving a Chinese restaurant menu:
\[ P(\text{Chinese}) = \frac{\text{Number of Chinese Menus}}{\text{Total Menus}} = \frac{2}{20} \]
To simplify the fraction:
\[ \frac{2}{20} = \frac{1}{10} \]
Thus, the experimental probability that the next menu slipped under Britney's door will be from a Chinese restaurant is
\[ P(\text{Chinese}) = \frac{1}{10} \]
