There are 8 children in Sophie’s preschool class. During free time yesterday, 1 of them chose to read books. What is the experimental probability that a randomly selected preschooler would choose to read books today?
Write your answer as a fraction or whole number.
P(read books) =
To find the experimental probability that a randomly selected preschooler would choose to read books today, we use the formula for probability:
[ P(text{event}) = frac{text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{text{Total number of outcomes}} ]
In this case:
– The number of favorable outcomes (children who chose to read books) is 1.
– The total number of outcomes (total children in the class) is 8.
So, the experimental probability is:
[ P(text{read books}) = frac{1}{8} ]
This means that if you randomly select one child from the class, there is a ( frac{1}{8} ) chance that they will choose to read books today. Keep up the great work, and don’t hesitate to ask if you have more questions!
