Question

Suppose you have a bag with 50 letter tiles in it and 11 of the tiles are the letter M. If you pick a letter tile at random from the bag, the probability that it is the letter M is bag has 400 letter tiles in it and 272 of the tiles are the letter M. Write the probability of picking a tile that is the letter M as a fraction and as a percent. From which bag are you more likely to pick a tile that is the letter M? P(M) as a fraction is (Simplify your answer.)

I have a photo of the question if you didn't understand what I'm saying, and I hate to ask, but are you able to do all three parts and help me understand? tyvm​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

for the first bag with 50 lettera and 11 of them are the letter M p(M)

11

---

50

second bag

272

-------

400

272÷8

----------

400÷8

34
