Question

A basket contains 9 blue ribbons, 7 red ribbons and 6 white ribbons. What is the probability that a ribbon selected at random will be red ?

Answer 1

Probability=number of specific outcomes / total number of possible outcomes...

P(r)=7/(9+7+6)

P(r)=7/22  ( ≈31.82%)

Answer 2

Add 7+9+6 then convert to percent
