Question

What is the probability of getting a pumpkin?

a. 1/3
b. 1/4
c. 1/6
d. 2/3

Answer 1

2/3

Explanation:

Add the fractions from the data where you get a pumpkin. Exclude the data where a pumpkin does not grow.

`\downarrow (1)/(6) + (1)/(3) + (1)/(6) \downarrow\\\\(1)/(6)+(\left(1\cdot 2\right))/(\left(3\cdot 2\right))+(1)/(6)\\(1)/(6)+(\left(1\cdot 2\right))/(6)+(1)/(6)\\(1)/(6)+(2)/(6)+(1)/(6)\\(\left(1+2+1\right))/(6)\\= (4)/(6)\\(\left(2\cdot 2\right))/(\left(3\cdot 2\right))\\= (2)/(3)`
