Question

A box contains 95 pink rubber bands and 90 brown rubber bands. You select a rubber bands at random from the box. Find each probability. Write the probability as a fraction in simplest form.

A. Find the theoretical probability of selecting a Pink rubber band.

B. Find the theoretical probability of selecting a Brown rubber band.

C. You repeatedly choose a rubber band from the box, record the color, and put the rubber band back in the box. The results are shown in the table below. Find the experimental probability of each color based on the table.

Answer 1

Outcome Occurrence
Pink 36
Brown 33

Answer 2

A. 95/185 reduces to 19/37 (probability for pink)
B. 90/185 reduces to 18/37 (probability for brown)

I do not know the other one. I am not the best at probabilities, so you might better get somebody to check and see if I did this correctly

Answer 3

@texaschic101 you are correct.

Answer 4

thanks for the confirmation...I am not good at these, so thanks for checking :)

Answer 5

Can u help me with C

Answer 6

```
Outcome Occurrence
Pink 36
Brown 33
```

Answer 7

total trials = 36 + 33 = 99

Answer 8

P(Pink) = 36/99 = ?
P(Brown) = 33/99 = ?

Answer 9

^^ thats for part C

Answer 10

ok

Answer 11

36/99=0.36
33/99=0.33

Answer 12

@ganeshie8

Answer 13

obviously they're wrong, the reason is :
they dont add up to 1

Answer 14

I made a mistake earlier while adding : 36 + 33 = 69 (NOT 99)

Answer 15

work it again

Answer 16

P(Pink) = 36/69= ?
P(Brown) = 33/69 = ?

Answer 17

36/69=0.52
33/69= 0.47

Answer 18

@ganeshie8

Answer 19

36/69=0.52
33/69= 0.48


look good

Answer 20

is that it?
