Question

There are only 6 blue pens, 5 green pens and 8 red pens in a box.
One pen is taken at random from the box.
Write down the probability that this pen is blue.

Answer 1

Answer:

0.316

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability = (number of outcomes)/(total number of outcomes)

In this case,

the total number of outcomes is 6+5+8 = 19, and

the number of outcomes for getting a blue pen = 6

Hence,

P(blue) = 6/19 = 0.31578947368 ≈ 0.316
