The experimental probability (as a percent) that she will hit the ball next is 37.5%. Hence, option B is the right choice.
What do we mean by the experimental probability of an event?
The experimental probability of an event occurring is the number of times it happened during the experiment as a ratio to the number of times the experiment was run.
How do we solve the given question?
In the question, we are given that Sarah hit the ball 3 times out of the 8 times.
We are asked to find the experimental probability (as a percent) that she will hit the ball next.
As we know, the experimental probability of an event occurring is the number of times it happened during the experiment as a ratio to the number of times the experiment was run.
∴ The experimental probability = The number of times Sarah hit the ball/The number of times she experimented = 3/8
or, The experimental probability = (3/8)*100 % = (3*25)/2 % = 75/2 % = 37.5%.
∴ The experimental probability (as a percent) that she will hit the ball next is 37.5%. Hence, option B is the right choice.
