Q. A band played an encore at 22 of its last 66 shows. What is the experimental probability that the band will play an encore at its next show? Simplify your answer and write it as a fraction or whole number.\newlineP(encore)=___P(\text{encore}) = \_\_\_
  1. Question Prompt: The question prompt is: "What is the experimental probability that the band will play an encore at its next show?"
  2. Formula for Probability: To find the experimental probability, we use the formula P(encore)=Number of successful outcomesTotal number of outcomesP(\text{encore}) = \frac{\text{Number of successful outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}. In this case, the successful outcome is the band playing an encore, which has happened 22 times out of the last 66 shows.
  3. Calculation: We plug the numbers into the formula: P(encore)=26P(\text{encore}) = \frac{2}{6}.
  4. Simplification: We simplify the fraction 26\frac{2}{6} by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 22. So, 26\frac{2}{6} simplifies to 13\frac{1}{3}.
