Question

A box contains 5 red, 8 blue, 3 green pens. What is the probability that the pen

picked up is blue ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{Numberof favorable outcomes}{total noumber of possible ouctomes}$

Number of balls = 5+8+3 = 16

Number of blue balls = 8

→ $\frac{8}{16} =\frac{1}{2}$

→ $\frac{1}{2}$  (1/2) IS THE PROBABILITY OF GETTING A BLUE PEN.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

number of balls=5+8+3=16

number of bule balls=8

8\16=1/2

1/2 is the probability of getting a bule pen
