The experimental probability is the ratio of the number of times a certain outcome occurs to the total number of trials. In this case, the outcome we are interested in is winning a prize, and the total number of trials is the total number of people who have spun the wheel, which is 64.
So, the experimental probability of winning a prize is:
22/64
Simplifying this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2, we get:
11/32
Therefore, the experimental probability that the next person to spin the wheel will win a prize is 11/32 or approximately 0.34 (rounded to two decimal places).
At the Butler County Fair, 22 of the last 64 people to spin the prize wheel won a prize. What is the experimental probability that the next person to spin the wheel will win a prize?
