A bag has 5 green cards and 3 Orange cards find the probability of getting a card that is not orange
Answers
orange cards = 3
green cards = 5
total cards = 5 + 3 = 8
probability of getting green card
= p(green card) = 5/8
in percentage = 5/8 × 100
= 62.5%
Given - Number of green and orange cards
Find - Probability of not orange card
Solution - The probability of not getting orange cards is 0.6.
The probability is calculated by the formula - number of favourable outcomes/total number of outcomes
The number of favourable outcomes is not the orange card. So, if the cards are not orange, then they will be green. Therefore, the number of favourable outcomes will be the number of green cards.
Number of favourable outcomes = 5
Total number of outcomes = 5 + 3
Total number of outcomes = 8
Keep the values in the formula to find the value of probability.
Probability = 5/8
Probability = 0.6
Thus, the probability of not getting orange cards is 0.6.
