Question

A box is filled with several party favors. It contains 12 hats, 15 noisemakers, 10 finger traps, and 5 bags of confetti. Let H = the event of getting a hat. Let N = the event of getting a noisemaker. Let F = the event of getting a finger trap. Let C = the event of getting a bag of confetti. Find P(N).

Answer 1

Answer:

P(N) = 5/14

Step-by-step explanation:

Find P(N) by finding the probability of getting a noisemaker.

There are 42 items in total, and 15 are noisemakers. Find the probability by dividing 15 by 42:

15/42

Simplify:

5/14

So, P(N) = 5/14
