Question

Angie is birdwatching at the coast. She has seen 22 egrets out of 55 total birds. What is the experimental probability that the next bird Angie sees will be an egret

Answer 1

Answer:

0.4 = 40%

Step-by-step explanation:

We can calculate this experimental probability by dividing the number of specific cases we saw (in this case, the bird Angie sees being specifically an egret) by the total number of experiments (in this case, the total number of birds Angie saw until now).

In a total of 55 birds, Angie saw 22 egrets, so the experimental probability of the next bird Angie sees being an egret is 22/55 = 2/5 = 0.4 = 40%
