Question

Andrew has a container with 80 game pieces that are different colors.He knows that the probability of choosing a green piece at random from the container is 0.2 and the probability of choosing a yellow piece at random from the container is 0.45. What is the total number of yellow game pieces in the container?

Answer 1

36 Yellow pieces

Explanation:

-Given the total number of pieces is 80 and the probability of choosing a yellow piece at random is 0.45.

-To find the number of yellows pieces in the container, we multiply its probability by the total number of pieces;

`n_y=P(yellow)* n\\\\=0.45* 80\\\\=36`

Hence, the total number of yellow pieces is 36
