Question

A chair can be purchased in one of four colors: red, white, green, or blue. The number of chairs purchased in each color is listed below. Red: 150 white: 450 green: 225 blue: 375 Based on the information shown in the list, what is the probability that the next chair purchased will be red?

Answer 1

Answer:

$P(Red) = 0.125$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Red: 150$

$White: 450$

$Green: 225$

$Blue: 375$

Required

Determine the probability of getting a red chair, next.

First, we nee the total number of chairs

$Total = 150 + 450 + 225 + 375$

$Total = 1200$

Probability of getting red is then calculated as thus;

$P(Red) = Red/Total$

$P(Red) = 150/1200$

$P(Red) = 0.125$
