Giovanna owns a farm. She is going to randomly select one animal to present at the state fair. She has 6 pigs, 7 chickens, and 10 cows. What is the probability she will select a chicken?

There are 23 animals in all. (6+7+10 = 23)

Probability of choosing a chicken : 7/23

Probability of choosing a pig: 6/23

Probability of choosing a cow: 10/23

Answer:
\text{P(chicken})=0.30

Explanation:

Given: The number of pigs in Giovanna's farm = 6

The number of chickens = 7

The number of cows = 10

Therefore, the total number of animals in the farm =
10+6+7=23

Now, the probability of drawing a chicken from all the animals in the farm is given by :-


\text{P(chicken})=\frac{\text{Number of chickens}}{\text{\text{Total animals}}}\\\\\Rightarrow\text{ P(chicken})=(7)/(23)=0.304347826\approx0.30

Hence,
\text{P(chicken})=0.30
