After reading to a kidergarten class in library, Tobey gives the stickers out at random, Hes has 9 zoo animals stickers and 16 strach ans sinff stickers.what is the probability that the first child will get a starch and sinfo ticker and the second child get a zoo animal sticker?
Please help
Hello @Janelle01 ! Welcome to Openstudy!
Thx
First, find the total amount of stickers.
9 + 16 = ?
25
Correct. @Janelle01 To find the probability of someone getting a scratch-n-sniff, you take the amount of scratch-n-sniff stickers and divide it by the total amount of stickers.
16/25=64%
Correct. Nice job.
Now, the next part.
So what about the zoo animals stickers
Take the amount of zoo animal stickers and divide it by the total amount of stickers.
9/25=36%
Correct. Now we're finding the probability of both events occurring correct? That means we have to multiply those two probabilities together.
Ok so .64×.34 right
yep.
.2304
Yes. Depending on what they want as your answer, you might have to convert to percentage form
So 23 and 1/25
No, to get a percent, you multiply by 100 and add the % sign
So .2304 × 100= 23 1/25%
