Question

Is chosen at random what is the probability that a customer will select wrapping paper and a boat that are both the same color

Answer 1

Answer:

0.20

Explanation:

From the table given, there are 20 possible outcomes.

The outcomes where the wrapping paper and bowl are both of the same color are:

• Red and red

,

• Yellow and Yellow

,

• Green and Green

,

• Purple and Purple

The number of outcomes of the same color = 4

Therefore, the probability that a customer will select wrapping paper and a boat that are both the same color:

$\begin{gathered} P(\text{ same color\rparen}=\frac{4}{20} \\ =\frac{4}{4\times5} \\ =\frac{1}{5} \end{gathered}$

The probability is 0.20.
