Question

A bag of tokens contains 8 red, 7 green, and 9 purple tokens. What is the probability that a randomly selected token is purple? Enter your answer as a fraction.

Answer 1

Given;

`n(r)=8,n(g)=7,n(p)=9,n(T)=24`

The probability that a randomly selected token is purple is;

`\begin{gathered} P(purple)=(n(p))/(n(T)) \\ \\ P(purple)=(9)/(24) \\ \\ P(purple)=(3)/(8) \end{gathered}`
