The probability that a randomly selected jar is an 8 oz jar is 59.45%.
What is probability?
Probability is the likeliness of happening an event among all the events that are possible. It lie between 0 and 1. It cannot be negative. It can be calculated from the following formula:
Probability=Number of items/ Total items.
How to calculate probability?
There are 15(8 Oz) jar of plastic, 3(16 Oz )jar of plastic, 7(8 Oz) jar of glass and 12(16 Oz )jar of glass. We have to calculate the probability that a randomly selected jar is an 8 oz jar. So, the probability can be as under:
Probability=Number of 8 oz jar/total jars.
=(15+7)/(15+3+7+12)
=22/37
=0.5945
Convert it into percentage.
=0.5945*100
=59.45%.
Hence the probability that a randomly selected jar is an 8 oz jar is 59.45%.
