Q. Debbie's Cupcakes recently sold 33 vanilla cupcakes and 33 other cupcakes. What is the experimental probability that the next cupcake sold will be a vanilla cupcake? Simplify your answer and write it as a fraction or whole number.\newlineP(vanilla cupcake)=__P(\text{vanilla cupcake}) = \_\_
  1. Define Event Probability: To determine the experimental probability of an event, we divide the number of times the event has occurred by the total number of trials. In this case, the event is selling a vanilla cupcake, and the trials are the total number of cupcakes sold.
  2. Calculate Experimental Probability: Debbie's Cupcakes sold 33 vanilla cupcakes out of a total of 66 cupcakes (33 vanilla + 33 other). Therefore, the experimental probability of the next cupcake being vanilla is calculated as follows:\newlineP(vanilla cupcake) = Number of vanilla cupcakes sold / Total number of cupcakes sold\newlineP(vanilla cupcake) = 36\frac{3}{6}
  3. Simplify Fraction: Simplify the fraction 36\frac{3}{6} to its lowest terms to find the experimental probability.\newlineP(vanilla cupcake)=12P(\text{vanilla cupcake}) = \frac{1}{2}
