during a team building game, participants reach into a bag and randomly selecta colored flag, which determines their team. If there are 7 green flags, 5 red flags, and 3 yellow flags, then what is the theoretical probability of selecting a red flag
The answer would be 1/3. You should add up the flags, and then divide the number of desired outcomes (5) by the total number of outcomes (15). Reduce it to simpler terms when finished. Hope that helps :)
