Question

Mason wrote the numbers 0 through 14 on scraps of paper and placed the scraps in a box. He then randomly chose one of the scraps from the box. What is the probability that Manson chose a number greater than or equal to 6? Plz explain and show work.

A. 3/7
B. 4/7
C. 3/5
D. 2/5

Answer 1

There are 0-14 numbers inclusive, so that means there are 15 scraps of paper.

Probability of getting greater than or equal to six (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14) is

`(9)/(15)`

(as there are 15 scraps)

`(9)/(15) = (3)/(5)`

so the answer is C.

Answer 2

C.3/5

Explanation:

The numbers that would fit are 6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14. There are 15 numbers int he box. 9/15=3/5
