Question

There are 49 counters in a bag.

20 of the counters are red.

The rest of the counters are blue.

One of the counters is taken at random.

Find the probability that the counter is blue.

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

49-20=29 blue counters

There’s a 29/49 chance that the counter will be blue

Answer 2

The probability that the counter is blue=29/49

What is probability?

Probability is a branch of mathematics that deals with the occurrence of a random event.

For example:-

• when a dice is thrown the possible outcomes are any number from 1 to 6.

• when a coin is tossed in the air, the possible outcomes are Head and Tail.

How to calculate probability?

Probability of the event is = $\frac{required event to occur}{total sample of possible outcomes}$

Total number of counters in a bag is = 49

Number of red counters is = 20

Number of blue counters (49-20)= 29

∴ probability that the counter is blue= $\frac{required event to occur}{total sample of possible outcomes}$  

   

                                                                    ⇒ $\frac{29}{49}$
