Question

in a bag of keys there are 15 silver keys six black keys 11 copper keys and two painted keys of various colors. one key is drawn what is the probability that the key is silver or copper

Answer 1

Answer:

The best thing to do here is to put each of these into fractions, with the total (31) as the denominator.

14/31= silver

6/31= black

8/31= copper

3/31= various colours.

As you're looking for the keys that are silver or copper, you've got to add the two denominators together, which gives you 14+8= 22.

This cannot be simplified further, therefore, the probability of choosing either a silver or copper key is 22/31.

Hope this answer helps you :)

Have a great day
