Q. Hometown Donuts recently sold 1919 donuts, of which 66 were cream-filled donuts. What is the experimental probability that the next donut sold will be a cream-filled donut? Simplify your answer and write it as a fraction or whole number.\newlineP(cream-filled donut)=__P(\text{cream-filled donut}) = \_\_
  1. Define Experimental Probability: To find 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 cream-filled donut, and the trials are the total number of donuts sold.
  2. Calculate Experimental Probability: The number of cream-filled donuts sold is 66, and the total number of donuts sold is 1919. So, the experimental probability (PP) of the next donut sold being a cream-filled donut is calculated as follows:\newlineP(cream-filled donut)=Number of cream-filled donuts soldTotal number of donuts soldP(\text{cream-filled donut}) = \frac{\text{Number of cream-filled donuts sold}}{\text{Total number of donuts sold}}\newlineP(cream-filled donut)=619P(\text{cream-filled donut}) = \frac{6}{19}
  3. Simplify Fraction: The fraction 619\frac{6}{19} is already in its simplest form, as 66 and 1919 have no common factors other than 11. Therefore, we do not need to simplify the fraction further.
