Question

The are six cards in box. 2 of them are blue and 4 are red. You randomly draw one card.

Answer 1

Given Information:

Number of blue cards = 2

Number of red cards = 4

Total number of cards = 6

Required Information:

a) P(Blue) = ?

b) P(Red) = ?

c) which color card has a higher chance of being selected?

Answer:

a) P(Blue) = 1/3

b) P(Red) = 2/3

c) Red card has a higher chance of being selected as compared to Blue card.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that probability is given by

$P(x) = \frac{Number \:of\: desired \:outcomes}{Total\: number \:of\: outcomes}$

a)

The probability of selecting a Blue card is,  

$P(Blue) = \frac{Number \:of\: Blue \:cards}{Total \:number \:of\: cards}\\\\P(Blue) = \frac{2}{6}\\\\P(Blue) = \frac{1}{3}$

b)

The probability of selecting a Red card is,  

$P(Red) = \frac{Number \:of\: Red \:cards}{Total \:number \:of\: cards}\\\\P(Red) = \frac{4}{6}\\\\P(Red) = \frac{2}{3}$

c)

The probability of selecting a Red card is greater (2/3) as compared to Blue card (1/3) therefore, Red card has a higher chance of being selected as compared to Blue card.
