Answer:
a. p(orange) = 5/14
b. p(green) = 3/14
c. p(red) = 1/7
d. p(brown) = 2/7
e. p(brown or red) = 3/7
Step-by-step explanation:
1. You have a 14 pencils. Two pencils are red, 5 pencils are orange, 3 pencils are green and 4 pencils are brown.
p(color) = (number of pencils of that color)/(total number of pencils)
p(color) = (number of pencils of that color)/14
a. If a pencil is picked at random, what is the probability that the pencil
will be orange?
p(orange) = 5/14
b. If a pencil is picked at random, what is the probability that the pencil
will be green?
p(green) = 3/14
c. If a pencil is picked at random, what is the probability that the pencil will be red?
p(red) = 2/14 = 1/7
d. If a pencil is picked at random, what is the probability that the pencil
will be brown?
p(brown) = 4/14 = 2/7
e. If a pencil is picked at random, what is the probability that the pencil
will be brown or red?
brown: 4
red: 2
brown or red: 4 + 2
p(brown or red) = 6/14 = 3/7
In total the bag has 6 cubes and 1 means the white cube you are pulling out from the bag so there is 1/6 chance of getting a white cube.

Answer: I believe that the answer is B
Step-by-step explanation: The square root of 3 is an irrational number and 2 is a rational number thereby eliminating answer choices C and D. Thereafter, the product of the two numbers is 3.46410161514 which I believe to be an irrational number therefore eliminating A and B is your correct answer
