Question

The washington family is having a new house built. they are trying to decide what type of material to use for the outside of the house. the materials they can choose are brown brick, red brick, stucco, rock or siding. what is the probability that the washingtons will choose either brick or stucco?

Answer 1

2/5

Reason being there are 5 options, we know 2 of those options will likely be chosen, so we divide 2/5 (but that’s the lowest probability because 2 can’t go into 5 making 2/5 our answer)
