A grocery store recently sold 12 cans of soup, 6 of which were black bean soup. Based on experimental probability, how many of the next 20 cans sold should you expect to be black bean soup?____ cans of black bean soup
Q. A grocery store recently sold 12 cans of soup, 6 of which were black bean soup. Based on experimental probability, how many of the next 20 cans sold should you expect to be black bean soup?____ cans of black bean soup
Identify Probability: Identify the experimental probability of selling black bean soup.From the previous sales, 6 out of 12 cans were black bean soup.Experimental probability = Number of black bean soup cans sold / Total number of cans soldCalculation: 126=0.5
Calculate Experimental Probability: Apply the experimental probability to predict future sales.We expect the same probability for the next sales.Expected number of black bean soup cans = Probability of black bean soup ∗ Total number of future salesCalculation: 0.5∗20=10
