Question

Gabrielle designs bow ties for a local boutique store. The store manager counted the ties currently on display, tracking them by material and shape. Butterfly Batwing Cotton 11 Suede S 13 What is the probability that a randomly selected bow tie is made of suede and is shaped like a butterfly? Simplify any fractions

Answer 1

we need to find the ratio between ties of suede and shaped like a butterfly and the total of ties

ties selected are 8 we can take it from the table

then find the total of ties from the sum of the all numbers

`\begin{gathered} 10+11+8+13 \\ =42 \end{gathered}`

now the ratio to find the probability is

`(8)/(42)`

simplify by 2

`(4)/(21)\approx0.19`

probability is 4/21 or 0.19
