Question

Of the 4 people attending a lecture, 2 have hazel eyes.

What is the probability that a randomly selected person will have hazel eyes?
Write your answer as a fraction or whole number.

Answer 1

1/2

Explanation:

Think of this like a pizza or pie:

If there are four slices and two represent hazel eyes, how many slices are "hazel eyes?" It would be 2 of 4, or 2/4.

Because this is a fraction and it can be simplified, it would be 1/2.

So there is a 50% chance that the randomly selected person of the four people will have hazel eyes.

Answer 2

Answer: 50%

Explanation:

Because 2 of four is half, that that the probability is a 50% chance.
