Question

There are 95 white pieces of paper in a hat along with 5 blue pieces of paper. What is the theoretical probability that a blind-folded person draws a blue piece of paper on the first attempt? * 1 point 5 out of 100, which is 5/100 or 1/20 (5%) 5 out of 95, which is 5/95 or 1/19 (5.3%) 1 out of 100, which is 1/100 (1%) 5 out of 5, which is 5/5 (100%)

Answer 1

Answer:

5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the likelihood of an event taking place.

-Given there are 95 white and 5 blue pieces, the total number of papers is 100.

-The theoretical first attempt probability is equivalent to the number of each paper divided by the total:

$P(blue)= \frac{no \ of \ blue}{total}\\\\=\frac{5}{100}\\\\=0.05$

Hence, the theoretical probability that a blind-folded person draws a blue piece of paper on the first attempt is 0.05 or 5%
