A survey was conducted with 150 respondents that asked about their favorite activities during winter. There were 30 people who favored building a snowman, 80 people who liked skiing, and 40 who preferred sledding. What is the experimental probability that someone’s favorite activity is sledding? Write your answer in the simplest form of fraction.

4 answers

The experimental probability of someone's favorite activity being sledding is the number of people who favored sledding divided by the total number of respondents:

Experimental probability = 40/150

To simplify this fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 10:

Experimental probability = 4/15

Therefore, the experimental probability that someone's favorite activity is sledding is 4/15.
its 4/15 with the 4 at the top and the 15 at the bottem.!!
You're correct, thank you for pointing that out! The experimental probability is 4/15 with the 4 on top and the 15 on the bottom.
