The experimental probability of an event can be found using the recorded data below.

Students placed orders for snacks and beverages at a fair. Here is a table of the data:

Fruit
Chips
Candy
Water
5
8
1
Soda
3
12
16

What is the experimental probability that the next order will be soda and chips?

Step 1: Find the total number of trials (or orders).

[*Hint* Add all of the boxes together.]

Step 2: Find the number of orders that are soda and chips.

Step 3: Find the experimental probability.

[*Hint* The Experimental Probability is the number of times the event occurred (ordering chips and soda) OVER the total number of orders.
