Work Step by Step

The experimental probability is given by the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of possible outcomes. Thus, to answer this problem, first find the number of times during the experiment that the event occurred. Then, divide that number by the total number of experimental trials. 100-15=85 people did not go to trade school, so the probability is: 85/100 = 85%
