You plant 40 seeds of a certain flower and 26 of them sprout. Find the experimental probability that the next seed planted will sprout.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

51 percent

OpenStudy (anikate):

how?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmmm... i think it might be 65%

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you have a 26/40 success rate so far... so 26 divided by 40 is .65 or 65%

OpenStudy (anikate):

plz tell me how to find out. It can even be a fraction.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you successfully grow 26 out of 40 plants... so 26/40=.65... .65*100=65%

OpenStudy (anikate):

oh ok I get it thx?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no problem?

OpenStudy (anikate):

wait

OpenStudy (anikate):

ir has to be an experimental probablity

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Experimental probability = number of times the event occurs / total number of trials.

OpenStudy (anikate):

so it would be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the same... probability is .65

OpenStudy (anikate):

oh ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or, (13/20) if you need a fraction

OpenStudy (anikate):

thx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

np, good luck
