The table shows the results.ColorNumberRed4White10Blue8Green18Based on the results in the table, what is theexperimental probability that the next time Bellachooses a Lego it will be a white or blue?

Answer 1

Probability that the next time Bella chooses a Lego, it will be a white or blue

= (9/20)

= 0.45

Step-by-step explanation

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

Number of white or blue legos = 10 + 8 = 18

Total number of legos = 4 + 10 + 8 + 18 = 40

Probability that the next time Bella chooses a Lego, it will be a white or blue

= (18/40)

= (9/20)

= 0.45

Hope this Helps!!!
