Assessment DIRECTIONS: Read and answer the following problems. Write your answer in your answer sheet.
1. You ask a friend to think of a number from 4 to 10. Find the theoretical probability of choosing number 7.
2. Each letter in the word LOVE are on separate cards, face down on table. You pick a card. What is the theoretical probability that letter V will be picked? 3. Alex has a box of crayons. The box contains 25 yellow crayons, 15 green crayons, 10 red crayons, 8 orange crayons and 5 red crayons. If he selects randomly a crayon, which color of the crayon she would most likely to select?
Answers & Comments
1.The Probability of choosing number 7 is 1/7
2The Probability of picking the card V is 1/4
3.Alex will most likely to pick the yellow card which has the highest probabilty among the crayons which is 25/63
Step-by-step explanation:
1.Given-Find theoretical probability of choosing number 7 from 1-7
Possible/Total outcomes (1,2,3,4,5,6,7)=7
Favourable outcome=(7)=1
Probablity(getting no. 7)= favourable÷Total Outcomes= 1/7
The probability of getting no. 7 in set (1,2,3,4,5,6,7)=1/7
2Given-find theoretical probabilty of getting a card V from the Cards L.O.V.E
Possible/Total outcomes (L,O,V,E)=4
Favourable outcome=(V)=1
Probability of getting V=
Favourable÷Total Outcomes=1/5
The probability of getting the V card in Cards(L.O.V.E) is 1/4
3Given-Alex has a box of crayons. The box contains 25 yellow crayons, 15 green crayons, 10 red crayons, 8 orange crayons and 5 red crayons. If he selects randomly a crayon, which color of the crayon she would most likely to select?
Total Outcomes (25 yellow)+(15green)+(10 red)+(8orange)+(5red)= 63
Favourable outcome(yellow)=25
probability=25/63
Favourable outcome(green)=15
probability=15/63 or 1/21
Favourable outcome (10+5red)=15
probability=15/63 or 1/21
Favourable outcome(orange)=8
probability=8/63
Answer Alex will pick the yellow crayon because it has the highest probabilty among the crayons which is 35/63
