Meg surveyed some students at her school about their favorite professional sports. of the students surveyed, 2 said football was their favorite sport, while 8 of the students had other favorite sports. what is the experimental probability that the next student meg talks to will pick football?
If 10 students were presumably interviewed and 2/10 said football whereas the other 8/10 said something else, then the 2/10 fraction can be simplified to 1/5 which is your answer. Hope this helps!
