Question

A bag contains yellow-, blue-, green-, and red-colored chips. The table below shows the results of selecting one chip from the bag, recording the color, and then replacing the chip. What is the experimental probability of selecting a chip that is either green or red?

A. 1/4 = 25%
B. 3/4 = 75%
C. 1/2 = 50%
D. 1/3 ≈ 33%

Answer 1

1/2

Explanation:

First find the total number of chips

total = 8+6+9+5 = 28

P( green or red) = number of green or red chips / total

= (9+5) / 28

= 14/28

=1/2
