Answer:

[tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming a total of ten students were asked, [tex]\frac{2}{10}[/tex] chose football and [tex]\frac{8}{10}[/tex] chose other sports. [tex]\frac{2}{10}[/tex] simplified is [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex], so that's the experimental chance that the next student favors football.
Answer:
1/5

Explanation:
If 10 students were presumably interviewed and 2/10 said football whereas the other 8/10 said something else, then the 2/10 fraction can be simplified to 1/5 which is your answer. Hope this helps, have a nice day :)
