    The experimental probability can be expressed in three ways:

    Fraction Form: 3/6 or 1/2

    Decimal Form: 0.5

    Percent Form: 50%

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Experimental probability is expressed as:

    (Favorable outcomes) / (Total outcomes)

    The favorable outcome in this situation is blubbery muffins. There were 3 blueberry muffins sold, so this is the numerator of our fraction.

    To find the total outcomes we add 3 + 3, which equals 6. This will be the denominator of our fraction.

    The fraction used to express experimental probability will look like this: 3/6

    We can further simplify this to 1/2.

    3 : 3 = 1

    6 : 3 = 2

    To find a decimal, we divide 1 : 2 = 0.5

    Multiply this by 100 to get a percentage, 0.5 x 100 = 50%
