Question

Wendy's mother recorded how many donuts she has eaten over the past few months. Jelly-filled donuts 6 maple donuts 53 glazed donuts 11 powdered sugar donuts 5 What is the experimental probability that the next donut Wendy eats will be a powdered sugar donut? Write your answer as a fraction or whole number. P(powdered sugar donut) =

Answer 1

Answer:

$P(\text{Powdered sugar donut})=\dfrac{1}{15}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that Wendy's mother recorded how many donuts she has eaten over the past few months.

Jelly-filled donuts = 6

Maple donuts = 53  

Glazed donuts = 11  

Powdered sugar donuts = 5

Now,

Total number of donuts = 6 + 53 + 11 + 5 = 75

We need to find the experimental probability that the next donut Wendy eats will be a powdered sugar donut.

$P(\text{Powdered sugar donut})=\dfrac{\text{Powdered sugar donuts}}{\text{Total number of donuts}}$

$P(\text{Powdered sugar donut})=\dfrac{5}{75}$

$P(\text{Powdered sugar donut})=\dfrac{1}{15}$

Therefore, $P(\text{Powdered sugar donut})=\dfrac{1}{15}$.
