A) 8/50
B) 9/50
C) 10/50
D) 12/50

Answer 1

The probability of drawing a green item from the given collection is 8/50, which is the number of green items divided by the total number of items.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks for the probability of drawing a green item from a collection of colored items. The total number of items is the sum of blue, green, red, yellow, and black items, which is 16 + 8 + 9 + 12 + 5 = 50. To find the probability of drawing a green item, you divide the number of green items by the total number of items, which gives us 8/50. Therefore, the correct answer is A) 8/50.
