\text{probability = }\frac{\text{ number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{ total number of outcomes}}

number of banjos with 6 or 5 strings: 4 + 8 + 8 + 3 = 23

total number of banjos: 4 + 6 + 4 + 8 + 8 + 3 = 33

The probability that a randomly selected banjo has 6 strings or 5 strings is:


p=(23)/(33)
