Answer:
[tex] p =\frac{Possible}{Total}[/tex]
Where possible represent the possible cases on this case 5 since we have 5 balls and the total is the size of the sample space on this case 12. And replacing we got:
[tex] p =\frac{5}{12}= 0.417[/tex]
And rounded to the tenths place we got:
[tex] p=0.4[/tex]
And the best answer is:
B.
0.4
Step-by-step explanation:
For this case the size of the sampel space is 5+4+3= 12 representing the total of balls used.
We select a random ball from the total and we want to find the probability of selecting a blue ball. And for this case the can use the empirical definition of probability from Laplace given by:
[tex] p =\frac{Possible}{Total}[/tex]
Where possible represent the possible cases on this case 5 since we have 5 balls and the total is the size of the sample space on this case 12. And replacing we got:
[tex] p =\frac{5}{12}= 0.417[/tex]
And rounded to the tenths place we got:
[tex] p=0.4[/tex]
And the best answer is:
B.
0.4
