On his phone, he has 10 country songs, 15 Pop songs, 5 R&B songs, 10 rap songs, and 5 techno songs (for a total of 45 songs). He set his phone to shuffle so that it randomly plays music. If the phone randomly selects the next song, what is the probability that it will play a Pop song?

Answer 1

write fractions for each type of song out of the total

10/45 country

15/45 pop

5/45 r&b

10/45 rap

5/45 techno

write these fractions in their simplest forms

2/9 country

1/3 pop

1/9 r&b

2/9 rap

1/9 techno

the chances of the next song played on shuffle being pop is 15/45, or 1/3

(hope this helps! if it does, please give brainliest! thank you x)

Answer 2

Answer:

correct answer is $\frac{1}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of song which include country song, pop song, R &B song, rap song and techno song is 45

Therefore total number of POSSIBLE outcome is 45

outcomes of having pop song =  15

On reshuffle probability of pop song is$\frac{15}{45} = \frac{1}{3}$

therefore correct answer is $\frac{1}{3}$
