Answer:

a. Experimental probability = 9/14

b. Number of favorable events = 9 strikes.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) What is the experimental probability that the next pitch she throws will be a strike?

The formula for an Experimental probability is given as:

Experimental probability =( Number of times that a particular event happens ÷ Total number of trials

The particular event in this question is the STRIKE

The number of times that event (i.e the number of strikes) has been made is given in the question as = 9 strikes.

The total number of trials = Total number of Strikes and Total number of balls pitched by Tori

The total number of trials by Tori = 9 strikes + 5 balls

= 14 trials

Therefore, the Experimental probability that the next pitch Tori would throw would be a strike = (9÷ 14) = 9/14

b. What is the number of favorable events?

The number of favorable events is the number of successful strikes which Tori has made = 9 strikes.
