A box contains 95 pink rubber bands and 90 brown rubber bands. You select a rubber band at random from the box. Find each probab

ility. Write the probability as a fraction in simplest form.
a. find the theoretical probability of selecting a pink rubber band
b. find the theoretical probability of selecting a brown rubber band
c. you repeatedly choose a rubber band from the box, record the color, and put the rubber band back in the box. the results are shown in the table below. find the experimental probability of each color based on the table.

A. The theoretical probability for pink is 95/185 or about 51.35%

B. The theoretical probability for brown is 90/185 or about 47.82%.

C. To find the experimental probability, we will make another fraction. The number of outcomes will be the numerator and the total will be the denominator.

Pink 36/69 = 52.17%
Brown 33/69 = 47.82%
