What is the experimental probability that Jenny will pull out a purple tile?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would I have to add all the #?

Mehek (mehek14):

\(\dfrac{purple}{total}\)

Mehek (mehek14):

add all of them for total

Mehek (mehek14):

6+18+26

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6/50

Mehek (mehek14):

simplify

Mehek (mehek14):

divide by 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6/50*2?

Mehek (mehek14):

no 6/2 and 50/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3 and 25?

Mehek (mehek14):

that's the answer \(\dfrac{3}{25}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is not in my choice of answers

Mehek (mehek14):

hmm what do you have?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6/50....44/50....6/44.....18/44

Mehek (mehek14):

then 6/50

Mehek (mehek14):

i thought your answer would've been simplified

Mehek (mehek14):

but it's still the same \(\dfrac{6}{50}=\dfrac{3}{25}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):
