Question

On a shelf at a gaming store, there are six Sony Playstations and five Nintendo Wii consoles left. If one gaming system is selected at random, find the probability that the system is a Wii console.

Answer 1

Answer:

The probability that the system is a Wii console is 0.46

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability expresses the possibility of an occurrence of an event. The probable outcomes for the event is called sample space.

For the given question,

Number of Sony Playstations = 6

Number of Nintendo Wii consoles = 5

Total number of games on the shelve = 11

Probability that the game selected is Wii console implies the possibility of picking one out of the 5 consoles.

pr(the system is a Wii console) = $\frac{5}{11}$

                                                   = 0.4555

                                                   ≅ 0.46

The probability that the system is a Wii console is 0.46.
