Question

Different shapes are drawn on cards and then the cards are placed in a bag. The number of cards for each shape is shown in the table.

Shape triangle square circle
Number of cards 16 16 18
What is the probability that a randomly selected card has a triangle drawn on it?

Answer 1

The probability is 16/50 or 32 percent 

Answer 2

Answer:
`(8)/(25)`

Explanation:

The total number of cards in the bag=
`16+16+18=50`

The number of cards has triangle = 16

The probability that a randomly selected card has a triangle drawn on it is given by :-

`=\frac{\text{Number of cards has triangle}}{\text{Total cards}}\\\\=(16)/(50)\\\\=(8)/(25)`

Hence, the probability that a randomly selected card has a triangle drawn on it =
`(8)/(25)`
