Question

Michael uses a uniform probability model for an experiment using a deck of 45 cards. There are 15 blue card, 15 red cards, and 15 green cards in the deck. Cards will be drawn one at a time and then replaced in the deck before another card is drawn.

He uses the probability model to determine the probability of drawing a blue card or a red card.

What is P(blue or red)?

Enter your answer as a simplified fraction in the box.

Answer 1

its 2/3 i took the k12 test and got it right:

Explanation:

here is proof:

Answer 2

P = 2/3

Explanation:

45 cards in all

15 blue

15 red

15 green

To figure out the probability of red and blue together, add red and blue.

15 + 15 = 30

Since the total is 45, this is how many 30 will be out of.

30 out of 45 = 30/45

Simplify 30/45 by dividing each side by 15

30 ÷ 15 = 2

45 ÷ 15 = 3

30/45 = 2/3
