Question

A bag of balloons contains 4 red balloons, 11 green balloons, 15 yellow balloons, and 8 orange balloons. What is the probability that

a randomly selected balloon would be green or orange?

A. 23/38

B. 13/19

C. 15/38

D. 1/2

Answer 1

D 1/2

Explanation:

Probability is the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes

number of favorable outcomes = 11+8 = 19

total number of outcomes = 38

The probability that a randomly selected balloon would be green or orange is

19/38 = 1/2

Answer 2

D. 1/2 because the amount green and orange balloons combined is 19 and red and yellow combine is also 19 balloons so there is a 50% chance
