Answer

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!!!
