MEDAL AWARD Tamara wraps 12 gift boxes in red paper and 8 gift boxes in blue paper. She puts a CD in 8 red boxes and 2 of the blue boxes. What is the probability of picking a box with a CD if a person randomly chooses a gift box? A. How many possible outcomes are there? B. How many favorable outcomes are there? C. Write the formula for probability Then substitute numbers for the probability and simplify.
the probabilty of getting a cd is 1/2 that is 10 /20
4 chances of getting an epty red box , 12 chances of getting a red box , 8 chanced of getting a rd box with a cd and then 8 chances of getting a blue box , 6 chances of getting an empty blue box and 2 chances of getting a blue box with a cd HOPE THAT HELPED ^_^
AND BTW THERE ARE 10 FAVOURABLE OUTCOMES THAT IS TO GET A CD :)
Do you know the answer to part C?
It's in the question
probabilty is |dw:1393784924140:dw|
yea so basically you write 10 as the event and 20 as the outcomes lay and you can simplyfy it and write 1 by 2 \[\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }\]
Uhm I don't think that's what they're asking for.
arent they asking fo the simplified form after finding the formulae of probability or somehing else?
