Question

There are 39 counters in a bag.

Answer 1

Answer: The probability is 0.64

Step-by-step explanation: There are 39 counters in a bag. 14 of them are red and the remaining 25 are blue. Every time a counter is taken from the bag at random, there are altogether 39 possibilities regardless of the color of the counter drawn.

Also if we want to pick a blue counter from the whole lot, there are 25 possible chances.

Therefore the probability of picking a blue counter is shown as follows;

P(Blue) = Number of required outcomes ÷ Number of total possible outcomes

P(Blue) = 25/39

P(Blue) = 0.64

Therefore, the probability of taking a blue counter is 0.64 (or 64%)
