Question

B. Solve:

1. If there are 13 yellow balls and 25 brown balls in a jar, what is the probability that Jaide will pick out a brown ball from the jar?
2. From a pack of 52 cards, a card is drawn at random. What is the probability of getting a king?

Answer 1

Step-by-step:

1.The probability of picking a brown ball can be calculated as:

Probability of picking a brown ball = Number of brown balls / Total number of balls

Number of brown balls = 25

Total number of balls = 13 + 25 = 38

Probability of picking a brown ball = 25/38

Probability of picking a brown ball is approximately 0.658 or 65.8%

Therefore, the probability of Jaide picking a brown ball from the jar is approximately 0.658 or 65.8%.

2.There are four kings in a pack of 52 cards (one king for each suit). Therefore, the probability of drawing a king from a pack of 52 cards can be calculated as:

Probability of drawing a king = Number of kings / Total number of cards

Number of kings = 4

Total number of cards = 52

Probability of drawing a king = 4/52

Probability of drawing a king is approximately 0.077 or 7.7%

Therefore, the probability of getting a king when drawing a card at random from a pack of 52 cards is approximately 0.077 or 7.7%.
