Question

Isabel’s music playlist has 12 rock songs, 15 pop songs, 13 hip-hop songs, and 10 oldies songs. If she sets the playlist on random shuffle, what is the probability that the first song will be a pop song?

Answer 1

The probability that the first song will be a pop song is 3/10

Explanation:

Number of rock songs = 12

Number of pop songs = 15

Number of oldies songs = 10

Number of hip hop songs = 13

Total Number of songs = 12+15+10+13=50

So,the probability that the first song will be a pop song =
`(15)/(50) =(3)/(10)`

Hence the probability that the first song will be a pop song is 3/10
