Question

I'm giving out brainliest, to the person who is right!
Suppose you have a bag with 20 letter tiles in it, and 3 of the tiles are labeled Y. Suppose a second bag was 500 letter tiles in it, and 170 of the tiles are labeled Y. From which are you more likely to pick a tile that is labeled Y? Explain.

Answer 1

Answer:

the second bag

Step-by-step explanation:

to find it u have to think of it as fractions. 3/20 has to equal ?/500  so divide 500 by 20 and you get 25. then multiply the 3 by 25 which equals 75. so it would be 75/500 which is less than 170/500  

Answer 2

From second bag we are more likely to pick a tile that is labeled Y

Probability

Probability is the branch of mathematics concerning numerical descriptions of how likely an event is to occur, or how likely it is that a proposition is true.

How to solve this problem?

The steps are as follow:

• In first bag there are 20 letter tiles in it, and 3 of the tiles are labeled Y.
• So Probability to pick a tile that is labeled Y from first bag will be as follow:

P =  The tiles are labeled Y / Total letter tiles in it

P = 3 / 20

P = 0.15

• Now Probability to pick a tile that is labeled Y from second bag will be as follow :

P =  The tiles are labeled Y / Total letter tiles in it

P = 170 / 500

P = 0.34

So from second bag we will be able pick morea tile that is labeled Y.
