Question

Emma had 10 Balls in a bag. The balls were numbers 1 through 10. She wanted to test the probability of drawing a ball that is a multiple of 3.
Also, write a prediction about if there is an unlikely, impossible, likely, even, or certain change of drawing a multiple of 3.

Answer 1

Answer:

• 30%
• Unlikely

Step-by-step explanation:

The balls - multiples of 3 are:

• 3, 6 and 9

The probability of a multiple of 3 is:

• 3 out of 10 or
• P = 3/10 = 30%

30% probability is in the range 0%-50% so this event is unlikely

Answer 2

• Total balls=10
• Multiples of 3=3,6,9

Total multiples=3

$\\ \sf\longmapsto P(3)=\dfrac{Multiples\:of\:3}{Total \:balls}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto P(3)=\dfrac{3}{10}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto P(3)=30\%$

• It is <50%;

So it is unlikely to happen.
