Drink sales for an afternoon at the school carnival were recorded in the table below. What is the experimental probability that the next drink is a small coffee? Enter your
answer as a simplified fraction.

Given:

The table that represents the drink sales for an afternoon at the school carnival.

To find:

The experimental probability that the next drink is a small coffee.

Solution:

From the given table it is clear that,

The total number of drinks sold = 72+99+63+68+47+58

                                                     = 407

The number of small coffee sold = 63

Now, the experimental probability that the next drink is a small coffee is:

It cannot be simplified further.

Therefore, the experimental probability that the next drink is a small coffee is .
