Cindy's Cupcake Shop recently sold 6 cupcakes, of which 2 were chocolate. What is the experimental probability that the next cupcake sold will be chocolate?

Simplify your answer and write it as a fraction or whole number.

Solution:
P(Experimental event) = (# trial successes)/(Total # of trials conducted), so in our case: P(chocolate cupcake) = 2/6 = 1/3
