Question

Ashlee is preparing invitations to her birthday party and has a small box of individual star stickers she wants to use. After completing the invitations, she reaches in the box and randomly selects a sticker for the back of each envelope. What is the probability the first sticker she randomly selects will be red?

A) 1/11
B) 1/8
C) 3/11
D) 3/8

Answer 1

To find the probability that the first sticker Ashlee randomly selects will be red, we need to determine the number of red stickers in the box and the total number of stickers in the box. The correct answer is option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability that the first sticker Ashlee randomly selects will be red, we need to determine the number of red stickers in the box and the total number of stickers in the box.

Given that the box contains a small number of individual star stickers, we can assume that each sticker has an equal chance of being selected.

Let's denote the probability of selecting a red sticker as P(Red). Since the box contains individual star stickers, we can assume that the total number of stickers in the box is the same as the number of possible outcomes when selecting a sticker.

Therefore, P(Red) is equal to the number of red stickers divided by the total number of stickers in the box:

P(Red) = Number of red stickers / Total number of stickers in the box

Based on the information given in the question, we do not have the specific numbers of red stickers and total stickers in the box. As such, we cannot calculate the exact probability.
