The circle graph shows the percentage of numbered tiles in a box. If each numbered tile is equally likely to be pulled from the box, what is the probability of pulling out a tile with a 6 on it? (Hint: Remember that percents are based out of 100% and probability is represented as a fraction of 100%)

Respuesta :

Answer: [tex]\dfrac{1}{5}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From, the circle graph in the attachment below,

The percentage of portion taken by 6 (dark blue) = 20%  

So, the probability of pulling out a tile with a 6 on it = percentage of portion taken by 6 (dark blue) = 20%     [Probability can also be written as a percentage]

[tex]=\dfrac{20}{100}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{5}[/tex]  [we divide a percentage by 100 to convert it into fraction]

Hence, the probability of pulling out a tile with a 6 on it = [tex]\dfrac{1}{5}[/tex]
