Question

1.Cesiah has a pencil box containing 4 green pencils, 6 blue pencils, and 10 red pencils. If she randomly selects a pencil from the bag, what is the probability, in decimal form, that she picks a green pencil?

Answer 1

If you add up the amount of pencils there are then you get 20,

so that means that you have 20 pencils in all, and out of the 20 pencils, 4 of them are green so the probability is 4/20

and 4/20 in decimal form is 0.2, so the probability is unlikely that she will pick a green pencil
