Question

Michelle is giving away prizes at one of her meetings.the prizes include 5 stress balls , 3 notepads , 2gift cards and 6 sticky notes what is the probability of her giving out a stress ball more then a gift card​

Answer 1

13 out of 16 (13/16)

Explanation:

Add all of the items together.

5 stress balls + 3 notepads + 2 gift cards + 6 sticky notes = 16 items

So, now you have to find the probability out of 16.

Since there are 5 stress balls and 2 gift cards, there is a 5 out of 16 chance of passing out stress balls(5/16) and a 2 out 16 chance of handing out gift cards(2/16)

So, she has a 3 out 16 chance of handing out stress balls more than gift cards.

hope this helps and makes sense:)
