Question

A T-shirt stand on the boardwalk recently sold 6 purple shirts and 9 shirts in other colors. What is the experimental probability that the next shirt sold will be purple?

Answer 1

Answer:

2/5.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the denominator, you add all of the times the experiment has been done.

6 + 9 = 15.

Then, since they're asking about purple shirts, you put that as the numerator.

Making it 6/15.

To simplify, divide both sides by 3, making it 2/5 simplified.
