Question

a set if cards includes 20 yellow cards, 16 green cards, and 24 blue cards. what is the probability that a blue card is chosen at random

Answer 1

Answer:

2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the chance that a certain event occurs out of the total events.

Here, the event of "choosing a blue card". The total events are just "choosing any card".

There are 24 blue cards and 24 + 20 + 16 = 60 cards in total. So, we just take 24 and divide it by 60: $\frac{24}{60}$ . Simplifying, we get:

$\frac{24}{60} = \frac{2}{5}$

Thus, the answer is 2/5.

Hope this helps!
