Step-by-step explanation:
Probability tells us how likely something is to occur. It is found by dividing the favorable outcomes by the total outcomes.
In this question, a favorable outcome is selecting a green dye. The total outcomes are all the dyes.
- Favorable outcomes (green dye): 14
- Total outcomes (all dyes): 20 blue+ 6 red+14 green=40
Reduce the fraction. Both the numerator and denominator can be divided by 2.
This is the probabilty as a fraction. It can also be written as a percent. Divide the fraction, then multiply by 100.
The probablity of selecting a green dye is <u>7/20 or 35%</u>
