Based on the data, what is the probability that the next kite Barbara sells will be a diamond?
Write your answer as a fraction or whole number.
To find the probability that the next kite Barbara sells will be a diamond, we need to divide the number of diamond kites sold by the total number of kites sold:
Number of diamond kites sold: 11
Total number of kites sold: 11 + 9 + 6 + 4 = 30
Probability of next kite being a diamond = 11/30 = 11/30
Therefore, the probability that the next kite Barbara sells will be a diamond is 11/30.
