Question

A garden store recently sold 511 seed packets, including 146 pepper seed packets. What is the experimental probability that the next seed packet sold will be a pepper seed packet?

Answer 1

`2/7` or `~~29%`.

Explanation:

Take the number of event occurrences divided by the total number. For instance, `146` divided by `511` is `.2857` and when changed to a fraction, is `2/7`.

There is a `2` in `7` chance that the next packet will be a pepper packet based on the data given.
