Question

Jonathan has a box that contains six tennis balls and six golf balls. If he randomly picks one ball, what is the probability of picking a golf ball? Which simulation can be used to represent this situation?

A. The probability is 1/2. Flipping a coin is a representative simulation.
B. The probability is 4/6 . Spinning a spinner with three equal sections is a representative simulation.
C. The probability is 1/12 . Rolling two six-sided dice at the same time is a representative simulation.
D. The probability is 1. Picking one of two cards is a representative simulation.

Answer 1

The answer would be option a. There are 6 and 6 which adds up to 12, and the odds of picking up a golf ball would be 6/12 or 1/2

Answer 2

A, 6 tb, 6gb, 6/12 or 1/2 chance of picking either one
