The probability that a pen randomly picked from the box is a red pen is___ Scarlet uses a six-sided die to find the probability that each color of pen is picked. She assigns the numbers 1 and 4 on the die for red pens, and assigns 2, 3, 5, and 6 for black pens. Using this simulation, the probability of picking a red pen is ___ and the simulation used is ___
1.
A) 2/3
b) 1/2
c)1/3
b) 1/4

2.
A) 2/3
b) 1/2
c)1/3
b) 1/4

3.
A) suitable
B) not suitable

Answer 1

Answer:

1 is c

2 is c

3 is a

Since probability is the part to the whole. 8/24 which simplifies to 1/3

On the dice it has 2 spots for red and 4 for black which part to whole is 2/6 which is 1/3. Which gets to the same answer to make it correct.

I got it righttt

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

1 is c
2 is c
3 is a
