On the last day of a Shakespeare class, an English teacher asked her students which play
they liked the best, and she recorded the results to date.
2 liked Hamlet
8 liked Twelfth Night
2 liked a Midsummer Night's Dream
What is the experimental probability that the next student to respond likes Hamlet best?
Write your answer as a fraction or whole number

Answer 1

Answer:

ok so if we add this up we get that there is 14 kids in the class who have been polled and 2/14 or 1/7 likes hamlet so the chance is 1 out of 7

Answer 2

The experimental probability that the next student to respond likes Hamlet best is $\frac{1}{6}$ .

Concept:

• Probability = $\frac{Favourable \ Outcomes }{Total \ Outcomes}$
• To find total outcomes, we will add all the students.
• To find the favorable outcomes, we will count the number of students that likes hamlet.

How to solve the given question?

• Probability = $\frac{Favourable \ Outcomes }{Total \ Outcomes}$
• Total Outcomes = 2 + 8 + 2 = 12
• Favorable outcomes = 2
• ∴ $P(E) = \frac{Favourable \ Outcomes }{Total \ Outcomes} = \frac{2}{12} =\frac{1}{6}$

Thus, the experimental probability that the next student to respond likes Hamlet best is $\frac{1}{6}$ .
