Question

HELP ! PROBABILITY ! Easy

Answer 1

Answer:

The probability is zero

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability

There are 3 white counters and 2 black counters in a bag. One of them is chosen at random.

It's required to calculate the probability that a green counter has been chosen.

The probability of an outcome is defined as the frequency of the number of times the outcome occurs relative to the number of times that it could have occurred.

The equation to calculate the probability is:

$P=\frac{f}{n}$

Where f is the number of favorable cases and n is the total cases.

Since there are no green counters in the bag, it's impossible to choose a green counter, thus f=0 out of n=5 total cases:

$P=\frac{0}{5}$

P = 0

We have put the cross in the mark 0 on the probability scale below
