Given:
The table that represents the drink sales for an afternoon at the school carnival.
To find:
The experimental probability that the next drink is a small coffee.
Solution:
From the given table it is clear that,
The total number of drinks sold = 72+99+63+68+47+58
= 407
The number of small coffee sold = 63
Now, the experimental probability that the next drink is a small coffee is:
[tex]\text{Probability}=\dfrac{\text{Number of small coffee sold}}{\text{Total number of drinks sold}}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Probability}=\dfrac{63}{407}[/tex]
It cannot be simplified further.
Therefore, the experimental probability that the next drink is a small coffee is [tex]\dfrac{63}{407}[/tex].
