Q. Hometown Donuts recently sold 19 donuts, of which 6 were cream-filled donuts. What is the experimental probability that the next donut sold will be a cream-filled donut? Simplify your answer and write it as a fraction or whole number.P(cream-filled donut)=__
Define Experimental Probability: To find the experimental probability of an event, we divide the number of times the event has occurred by the total number of trials. In this case, the event is selling a cream-filled donut, and the trials are the total number of donuts sold.
Calculate Experimental Probability: The number of cream-filled donuts sold is 6, and the total number of donuts sold is 19. So, the experimental probability (P) of the next donut sold being a cream-filled donut is calculated as follows:P(cream-filled donut)=Total number of donuts soldNumber of cream-filled donuts soldP(cream-filled donut)=196
Simplify Fraction: The fraction 196 is already in its simplest form, as 6 and 19 have no common factors other than 1. Therefore, we do not need to simplify the fraction further.
