Answer:

[tex]\frac{9}{22}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

add all qestions together 10+3+9=22

and put the number of free responces on top of the total number of qestions

[tex]\frac{9}{22\\}[/tex]

and you cant simplify it so its in its simplist form

The probability that the first question is a free response is 9/22.

Probability is used to determine how likely it is that an event would occur.  The chances that an event would happen 0 and 1. A value of 0 is attached to an event that does not occur and 1 if the event happens.

For example, if the probability that a football team plays a game. The probability that the team would win is 1 and the probability that the team would lose is 0.

The probability that the first question is a free response is the ratio of the number of free response to the total number of questions.

The probability that the first question is a free response = number of free responses / total number of questions

Number of free responses = 9

Total number of questions = 9 + 10 + 3 = 22

=9/22
