Question 196357: If you have 55 total beads and 12 are red,12 are orange,5 are yellow,16 are green and 10 are purple. How do you figure the probability of drawing a certain color bead out of a bag? How do you write the probability? What kind of chart would you make to show the probability? Thank you. Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
The probability of an event is the number of successful outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes. If you want the probability of drawing one of 12 red beads from a bag of 55 beads, then there are 12 successful outcomes divided by 55 total outcomes, and the probability would be:
