Answer 1

The probability of the next bird being a blue jay is 42.14%

Explanation:

Given;

Total number of birds = 140

Number of blue jays = 59

Number of black crows = 68

Number of red robin's = 12

Number of cardinal = 1

The probability of the next bird being a blue jay is;

P = number of blue jay ÷ total number of birds

Substituting the values;

P = 59÷140

P = 0.4214

P = 42.14%

The probability of the next bird being a blue jay is 42.14%
