Question

A box contains 95 pink rubber bands and 90 brown rubber bands. You select a rubber band at random from the box. Find each probability. Write the probability as a fraction in simplest form.

Find the theoretical probability of selecting a pink rubber band.

Answer 1

Answer:A. The theoretical probability for pink is 95/185 or about 51.35%

B. The theoretical probability for brown is 90/185 or about 47.82%.

C. To find the experimental probability, we will make another fraction. The number of outcomes will be the numerator and the total will be the denominator.

Pink 36/69 = 52.17%

Brown 33/69 = 47.82%
