23

Step-by-step explanation:

234Suppose you have a bag with 50 letter tiles in it and 23 of the tiles are the letter Y. If

23

50

another bag has 200 letter tiles in it and 172 of the tiles are the letter Y. Write the probability of

picking a tile that is the letter Y as a fraction and as a percent. From which bag are you more likely

to pick a tile that is the letter Y?

The probability of picking the letter Y from bag of 50 letters is 23/50 or 0.46 or 46% and probability of picking the letter Y form bag of 200 letters is 172/200 or 0.86 or 86%. as the probability of getting the letter Y is more in second bag this it is better to pick the bag containing 200 letters.

What is a probability?

The probability explains the chances of happening a event. The probability of an event is a number between 0 and 1, where, 0 indicates impossibility of the event to happen and 1 indicates certainty of the event to happen.

From the question it is said that a bag of 50 letter contain 23 Y letters. Thus the probability of the letter Y picking is 23/50 i.e, number of times the letter Y can come out if we pick the letters 50  times. So, it is certain that 23 Y letters can come out.

23/50= 0.46 or 46%

And if the bag contain 200 letters in which 172 are Y letters then the probability to pick Y is 172/200

172/100 =0.86 or 86%

As the chance to get Y letter is mor in bag containing 200 letters thus pick this bag.

thus the 1st bag probability is 46% and for 2nd bag is 86%. Hence choose 2nd bag
