Answer:
0.071
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of wins by Alaskan Malamute = 21
Number of win by Great Pyrenees = 3
Number of wins by Siberian Husky = 18
Total number of shows = 42
We need to calculate the empirical probability that next winner will be a Great Pyrenees.
Empirical probability is defined as the ratio of the number of times a specific event occurs to total number of possibilities of all events being considered. In given case, the event that best of the show was a Great Pyrenees occurred 3 times, and total number of events were 42. So,
Empirical Probability that next winner will be a Great Pyrenees = [tex]\frac{3}{42}=0.071[/tex]
Hence, the empirical probability that the next winner of "Best of Show" will be a Great Pyrenees is 0.071
