One hundred randomly selected students at East High School were asked to name their favorite subject. The results are as follows:

- Art: 12
- Math: 20
- English: 35
- Social Studies: 33

Find the experimental probability that a student selected at random names the given response.

Answer (3)

so art:12 math:20 English:35 Social studies:33 so probility is the disired outcomes over all possible outcomes or Desired/all possible so add them and get
100 so art is 12/100=3/25 math is 20/100=1/5 english is 35/100=7/20 social studies is 33/100

35/100 which simplifies to 7/20 for English 20/100 which simplifies to 1/5 for Math 12/100 which simplifies to 3/25 for Art 33/100 which simplifies to ~1/3 for Social Studies

The experimental probabilities for the students' favorite subjects are as follows: Art is 0.12, Math is 0.20, English is 0.35, and Social Studies is 0.33. These values represent the likelihood that a randomly chosen student will select each of these subjects based on the survey results. The total of all these probabilities sums to 1, confirming total probability distribution for the subjects selected.
