Rosa is picking out fabric for her bedroom. She has 6 fabric samples, and 2 of them are floral. What is the probability that a randomly selected fabric sample will be floral? Write your answer as a fraction or whole number.

Answer 1

Probability of selected sample is floral = 1 / 3

Explanation:

Given:

Number of fabric sample = 6 sample

Number of floral sample from all samples = 2 samples

Find:

Probability of selected sample is floral

Computation:

Probability of a sample = Favorable outcome / Total outcomes

Probability of selected sample is floral = Number of floral sample / Number of fabric sample

Probability of selected sample is floral = 2 / 6

Probability of selected sample is floral = 1 / 3
