Turin's has 4 different pens colors :red,purple, blue, and green. She has 8 pens of each color. She selects a pen at random. What is the probability she will select a green pen

Respuesta :

Answer:

Therefore the probability she will select a green pen is [tex]\frac14[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability: The ratio of the favorable outcome to the total outcomes.

[tex]P=\frac{\textrm{The favorable outcome}}{\textrm{Total outcomes}}[/tex]

The maximum value of probability is 1 and the minimum value of probability is 0.

Given that, Turin's has 4 different colors pens. Red, purple, blue and green.

She has 8 pens of each.

She has total =(4×8)= 32 pens.

She has 8 blue pens.

The favorable outcome = 8

Total outcomes=32

Therefore the probability she will select a green pen is

[tex]=\frac{8}{32}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac14[/tex]
