Answer:
a) 1/3
b) 7/9
Step-by-step explanation:
The first part asks for the probability that Matt takes the red counter.
There are 6 red counters out of total 6+4+8 = 18 counters.
6/18
Simplify the fraction.
= 1/3
The second part asks for the probability that the counter is not blue.
The counters that are blue are 4. Not blue becomes 18-4 = 14. 14 red or green counters out of total 18.
14/18
= 7/9
Answer:
Total outcome = 6 + 4 + 8 = 18
a) Probablity that the counter is red = 6/18 = 1/3
b) Probablity that the counter is blue = 14/18 = 7/9
