Question

Samantha saw 60 people.

Twelve of them were wearing
orange shirts and 18 were
wearing green shirts. What is
the experimental probability
that the next person she sees
will be wearing a green shirt?

Answer 1

0.3

Explanation:

Total number of cases = 60.

favourable number of cases = 18. (Since 18 of them are wearing green shirt)

As we know probability of an event is given by ,

P = Favourable number of cases divided by Total number of cases

Thus here,

P =
`(18)/(60)`

=
`(3)/(10)` or 0.3
