Question

A bag contains 16 red checkers and 16 black checkers. Anne removes 1 black checker and 2 red checkers from the bag and does not replace them. She then reaches into the bag and selects a checker at random. What is the probability that the checker is red?​

Answer 1

14/29

Explanation:

16 red + 16 black = 32 total.

remove one black and two red = 32 - 1 - 2 = 29.

there are now 16 - 2 red = 14 red.

P(red) = 14/29
