The last 40 violent crimes committed in Sconeville were 2 homicides, 25 robberies, and 13 assaults. What is the empirical probability that the next violent crime committed in Sconeville will be a robbery?
---------------------
Empirical probability is based completely on what has happened thus far.
------------------
P(robbery) = 25/(2+25+13) = 25/40 = 5/8
