Answer 1

Question:

Suppose you have a bag of colored plastic disks, and you choose one without looking. The probability the disk you choose is yellow is P(yellow)=5/25.

Write this probability as a decimal.

Use a word or phase to describe this probability

Answer:

`P(yellow)=0.2`

Unlikely event

Explanation:

Given

`P(yellow)=(5)/(25)`

Solving (a): Express as decimal

`P(yellow)=(5)/(25)`

As decimal, we have:

`P(yellow)=0.2`

Solving (b): Description

Since the probability is closer to 0 than 1, we can say that the probability of picking a yellow is unlikely
