Question

Jerissa has 5 pink bows, 2 blue bow, and 4 purple bows in a box. She will randomly choose 1 bow from the box. What is the probability Jerissa will choose a purple bow?​

Answer 1

4/11

Explanation:

you add all the bows together to get the whole witch is 11 and she has 4 purple bows. so there is a 4 out of 11 chance she will draw a purple bow

Answer 2

`(4)/(11)` or 36%

Explanation:

Probability = number of favourable outcomes / total number of outcomes

The number of favourable outcomes is 4 because we know that there are 4 purple bows

The total number of outcomes is 11 because 5 + 2 + 4 = 11

Our equation becomes Probability =
`(4)/(11)` which is 36%
