Question

the bag contains 20 counters 16 of the counters are green a counter is picked at random what is the probability that it is green give your answer as a fraction​

Answer 1

Answer:

4/5

Explanation:

Total number of counters = 20

Number of green counters = 16

Probability(E) = Number of favourable outcome/Total number of outcomes

P(Getting green counter)= $\frac{16}{20} = \frac{8}{10} = \frac{4}{5}$

Therefore, the probability of picking a green counter is 4/5.

Answer 2

Total number of counters = 20

Number of green counters = 16

Probability(E) = Number of favourable outcome/Total number of outcomes

P(Getting green counter)= \frac{16}{20} = \frac{8}{10} = \frac{4}{5}
