Q. Of the last 2020 balloons sold at a party store, 22 were red. What is the experimental probability that the next balloon sold will be red? Simplify your answer and write it as a fraction or whole number.\newlineP(red)=___P(\text{red}) = \_\_\_
  1. Identify Total Balloons: Identify the total number of balloons sold and the number of red balloons sold. The total number of balloons sold is 2020, and the number of red balloons sold is 22.
  2. Calculate Experimental Probability: Calculate the experimental probability of selling a red balloon. The experimental probability PP of an event is calculated by dividing the number of times the event occurred by the total number of trials. P(red)=Number of red balloons soldTotal number of balloons soldP(\text{red}) = \frac{\text{Number of red balloons sold}}{\text{Total number of balloons sold}} P(red)=220P(\text{red}) = \frac{2}{20}
  3. Simplify Fraction: Simplify the fraction to find the simplest form of the experimental probability. P(red)=220=110P(\text{red}) = \frac{2}{20} = \frac{1}{10}
