Question

Davey sank 12 red, 9 blue, and 14 green diving sticks in the pool. You can't see the color of the sticks from the surface of the water. Davey jumps in to retrieve the diving sticks.1. What is the probability that James will find a red stick first?

Answer 1

Probability that a red stick will be found first = (12/35)

Step-by-step explanation

The probability of event is calculated as the number of elements in the event divided by the total number of elements in the sample space.

Number of red sticks = 12

Total number of sticks = 12 + 9 + 14 = 35

Probability that a red stick will be found first = (12/35)

Hope this Helps!!!
