Question

Rebecca supplies costumes to a number of theater companies and recently lent out a number of different hats.

turbans - 6
berets - 3
mortarboards - 3
top hats - 2

What is the experimental probability thaty the next hat requested from Rebecca's inventory will be a turban?

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find the experimental probability of the next hat requested being a turban, we need to compare the number of turbans with the total number of hats that Rebecca has lent out.

Total number of hats lent out = 6 + 3 + 3 + 2 = 14
Number of turbans lent out = 6

Experimental probability of the next hat requested being a turban = Number of turbans / Total number of hats = 6 / 14 ≈ 0.4286

Therefore, the experimental probability of the next hat requested being a turban is approximately 0.4286, or 42.86%.
