The experimental probability of someone's favorite activity being sledding is calculated by dividing the number of people who preferred sledding by the total number of respondents.
Probability = Number of people who prefer sledding / Total number of respondents
Probability = 40 / 150
Simplifying the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 10, we get:
Probability = 4 / 15
Therefore, the experimental probability that someone's favorite activity is sledding is 4/15.
