The experimental probability can be calculated using the formula:
\[
P(\text{rose bouquet}) = \frac{\text{Number of rose bouquets sold}}{\text{Total number of bouquets sold}}
\]
In this case:
- The number of rose bouquets sold = 10
- The total number of bouquets sold = 50
Now, substituting the values into the formula:
\[
P(\text{rose bouquet}) = \frac{10}{50} = 0.2
\]
Therefore, the experimental probability that the next bouquet sold will be a rose bouquet is **0.2**.
\[
P(\text{rose bouquet}) = \frac{\text{Number of rose bouquets sold}}{\text{Total number of bouquets sold}}
\]
In this case:
- The number of rose bouquets sold = 10
- The total number of bouquets sold = 50
Now, substituting the values into the formula:
\[
P(\text{rose bouquet}) = \frac{10}{50} = 0.2
\]
Therefore, the experimental probability that the next bouquet sold will be a rose bouquet is **0.2**.
