The problem asks us to estimate the probability that Omar's next social media post will get no comments, based on the data from his 9 most recent posts. The data is presented in a 3x3 table. We need to count the number of posts with zero comments and divide that by the total number of posts (which is 9).

1. Problem Description
The problem asks us to estimate the probability that Omar's next social media post will get no comments, based on the data from his 9 most recent posts. The data is presented in a 3x3 table. We need to count the number of posts with zero comments and divide that by the total number of posts (which is 9).
2. Solution Steps
First, we need to count how many times "0" appears in the table.
The table is:
0 2 8
7 0 0
0 6 4
The number 0 appears 4 times.
The total number of posts is
9.
The probability of a post having no comments is the number of posts with zero comments divided by the total number of posts.
Probability = Number of posts with zero comments / Total number of posts
Probability = 4 / 9
