Answer the questions below. Reduce fractions expressing probability to their lowest terms.

A shelf has 20 cartons of milk with different shelf lives. The shelf life for three of the cartons of milk will expire today.

The probability of picking a carton at random with today's date is less than 1.

The probability of picking a carton at random that does not have today's date is greater than 0.

Expressed as a decimal, is the probability of drawing at random a carton with today's date.

Expressed as a decimal, is the expected probability of picking at random a carton without today's date.

Respuesta :

Answer:

1. YES, The probability of of picking one with today's date is less than 1 because there is a chance of picking something else, you cannot say it is certain to pick today's date randomly.  

2.  YES, the probability of picking one with a different date is greater than 0 because there is a chance you could pick one of these. You cannot say it will never happen that you choose one with a different date.  

3. .15 is the probability of picking today's date. (3 / 20)  

4. .85 is the probability of picking a different date. (17 / 20)

Hope I helped!

What is the formula for probability?

The probability of an event can be calculated by the probability formula by simply dividing the favorable number of outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes.

Therefore we get,

1. YES, The probability of picking one with today's date is less than 1 because there is a chance of picking something else, you cannot say it is certain to pick today's date randomly.  

2.  YES, the probability of picking one with a different date is greater than 0 because there is a chance you could pick one of these. You cannot say it will never happen that you choose one with a different date.

3. .15 is the probability of picking today's date. (3 / 20)  

4. .85 is the probability of picking a different date. (17 / 20)
