Question

TEKS 7.61 Nataly has 6 pink bows, 1 blue bow, and 3 purple bows in a box. She will randomly choose 1 bow from the box. What is the probability Nataly will choose a pink bow?​

Answer 1

Given:

Number of pink bows = 6

Number of blue bows = 1

Number of purple bows = 3

Nataly will randomly choose 1 bow from the box.

To find:

The probability that the Nataly will choose a pink bow.

Solution:

The total number of bows is:

$6+1+3=10$

The  total number of bows is the total outcomes.

Total outcomes = 10

The number of pink bows is the favorable outcomes.

Favorable outcomes = 6

We know that, the probability that the Nataly will choose a pink bow is

$\text{Probability}=\dfrac{\text{Number of pink bows}}{\text{Total number of bows}}$

$\text{Probability}=\dfrac{6}{10}$

$\text{Probability}=0.6$

Therefore, the probability that Nataly will choose a pink bow is 0.6.
