Question

Lexy has two bouquets of flowers. Each bouquet contains 13 roses. Bouquet A contains 30 flowers.Bouquet B contains 13 flowers Which statement is true?(A) the probability of randomly selecting a rose from Bouquet A is less than the probability of randomly selecting a rose from Bouquet B(B) the probability of randomly selecting a rose from Bouquet A is 1 (C) the probability of randomly selecting a rose from Bouquet A is equal to the probability of randomly selecting a rose from Bouquet B(D) the probability of randomly selecting a rose from Bouquet A is 1/3

Answer 1

Probability

We have that the probability of selecting 13 roses from each bouquet is given by:

P(picking a rose) = 13/number of flowers

From bouquet A, since the number of flowers is 30:

P(A) = 13/number of flowers

P(A) = 13/30

From bouquet B, since the number of flowers is 13:

P(B) = 13/number of flowers

P(B) = 13/13 = 1

We have that the selected region corresponds to the red region of the following figure

Then, the probability of randomly selecting a rose from Bouquet A is less than the probability of randomly selecting a rose from Bouquet B.

Answer- A
