Question

A bag of animal crackers contains 5 monkeys, 4 giraffes, 6 elephants, and 3 tigers. Suppose you draw a cracker at random. Find the probability of pulling a monkey cracker as a fraction.

Answer 1

5/18

Explanation:

Step one

Given data

5 monkeys,

4 giraffes,

6 elephants, and

3 tigers.

Step two

Given the sample space

S =(5, 4,6,3) = 5+4+6+3=18

Step three

the probability of pulling a card at random when picking up a card is

Pr(monkey) = 5/18
