a box contains 20 red, 10 blue and 30 yellow beads. what is the probability of a bead drawn at random being yellow or blue?​

Respuesta :

Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

1. add all the beads up together:

    20+10+30= 60

2. add the blue and yellow beads up:

    10+30= 40

3. put 40 over 60

    40/60 which equals 2/3

4. the final answer:

    2/3

The probability of a bead drawn at random being yellow or blue is 2/3

what is probability?

Probability is the likelihood or chance that an event will occur. Mathematically

Probability = Expected outcome/Total outcome

If a box contains 20 red, 10 blue and 30 yellow beads, the total number of beads are;

Total outcome = 20 + 10 + 30

Total outcome = 60

Pr(a yellow) = 30/60 = 1/2

pr(a blue) = 10/60 = 1/6

Pr(yellow or blue) = 1/2 + 1/6 = 2/3

Hence the probability of a bead drawn at random being yellow or blue is 2/3
