Question

There are 10 yellow, 6 green, 9 orange, and 5 res cards in a stack of cards turned face down. once a card is selected, it is not replaced. determine each probability.
p(2 yellow cards)​

Answer 1

Answer:

10+6+9+5= 40

So there are

$\frac{10}{40}$ are yellow cards $\frac{6}{40}$ are green cards $\frac{9}{40}$ are orange cards $\frac{5}{40}$ red cards

now we have to get the percentages

$\frac{10}{40}$ = $\frac{25}{100}$

$\frac{6}{40}$ =  $\frac{15}{100}$

$\frac{9}{40}$ =  $\frac{22.5}{100}$

$\frac{5}{40}$ =  $\frac{12.5}{100}$

so the probability of getting...

yellow is 25%

green is 15%

orange is 22.5%

red is 12.5%
