Juan went to the store to buy a plant for his mother, but forgot to ask which kind to get. Out of 30 plants, eighteen of them are a kind that his mother would want. If Juan chooses one randomly, what is the probability that he will choose a kind that his mother would want?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Probability [Randomly choose plant Juan's mother want] = 3 / 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total number of plant in store = 30 plants

Number of plant kind Juan's mother want = 18

Find:

Probability [Randomly choose plant Juan's mother want]

Computation:

Probability of an event = Number of favorable outcome / Total number of outcomes

Probability [Randomly choose plant Juan's mother want] = Number of plant kind Juan's mother want / Total number of plant in store

Probability [Randomly choose plant Juan's mother want] = 18 / 30

Probability [Randomly choose plant Juan's mother want] = 3 / 5
