Question

Maura and her brother are at a store shopping for a beanbag chair for their school's library. The store sells beanbag chairs with different fabrics and types of filling. Velvet Suede Foam 2 7 Beads 2 7 What is the probability that a randomly selected beanbag chair is filled with beads and is made from velvet? Simplify any fractions.

Answer 1

The store sells a total of 18 types of chairs (this is the sum of all the types of chairs in the two way frequency table). From this table we notice that only two of them are filled with beads and made from velvet. Then the probability of choosing this is:

`P=(2)/(18)=(1)/(9)`

Therefore the probability is 1/9
