Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
A piece of buttered toast falls to the floor 17 times. The toast landed buttered side up 6 times.
It means that the total number of outcomes are 17
We need to find the probability that the toast lands buttered side down. Favourable oucome is 17-6 = 11
So, probability is given by :
[tex]P(E)=\dfrac{\text{favourable outcomes}}{\text{total no of outcomes}}[/tex]
[tex]P(E)=\dfrac{11}{17}[/tex]
So, the  probability that the toast lands buttered side down is 11/17.
