Answer 1

The experimental probability is given as:

$P(\text{event)}=\frac{\text{ number of times event occurs}}{\text{ total number of trials}}$

In this case the total number of trials is 18 and the number of times the event occurs is 4, then:

$P(blond)=\frac{4}{18}=\frac{2}{9}$

Therefore the probability that the next client to get a haircut have blond hair is 2/9.
