To find the experimental probability of selling a raisin bagel at Kimberly’s Bagel Shop, we use the formula:
[ P(text{raisin bagel}) = frac{text{Number of raisin bagels sold}}{text{Total number of bagels sold}} ]
In this case, the number of raisin bagels sold is 2, and the total number of bagels sold is 14.
So the probability is:
[ P(text{raisin bagel}) = frac{2}{14} ]
To simplify this fraction, we divide both the numerator and the denominator by 2:
[ P(text{raisin bagel}) = frac{1}{7} ]
Therefore, the experimental probability that the next bagel sold will be a raisin bagel is:
[ P(text{raisin bagel}) = frac{1}{7} ]
