Each morning papa notes the birds feeding on his birdfeeder. so far this month he has seen 59 blue jays, 68 black crows, 12 red robins and 1 cardinal. What is the probability of a blue jay being the next bird papa sees?

Answer:

The probability of a blue jay being the next bird papa sees is 0.421

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of outcomes of Blue jays = 59

Number of outcomes of Black crows =68

Number of outcomes of red robins = 12

Number of outcomes of cardinal = 1

Total Number of Birds = Number of outcomes of Blue jays + Number of outcomes of Black crows + Number of outcomes of red robins + Number of outcomes of cardinal = $59+68+12+1=140$

To calculate the probability, it is obtained by the formula number of outcomes / total number of possible outcomes.

Probability of of a blue jay being the next bird papa sees = $\frac{\textrm{Number of outcomes of Blue jays}}{\textrm{total number of birds}}= \frac{59}{140} = 0.421$

Hence, the probability of a blue jay being the next bird papa sees is 0.421
