Question

In an aquarium, there are 6 large fish and 8 small fish. Half of the large fish are blue.

One fish is selected at random. Find the probability that it is a large, blue fish.
Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form.

Answer 1

There's 21% of chances

Explanation:

Here we have to use the definition of a simple probability, where all fishes has the same probability to be chose.

So, we have to divide the possible outcomes with the total of outcomes. The possible outcomes refer to the number of large-blue fishes, and the total number of outcomes represent the total number of fishes. So

`P=(3)/(14) \approx 0.21 \ (or \ \%21)`

Therfore, there's 21% of chances to select one fish randomly and be a large, blue fish.
