Question

4.

Cheyene is doing archery practice using a target that has three colored zones. The
results of her most recent session are shown in the table.
# of hits
Color
Gold
9
Red
15
Blue
11

a. If this trend continues, what is the probability that Cheyene's next shot will be in the
gold?


b. Assuming the trend continues, what is the probability that her next shot will not be
in the blue?

Answer 1

Total shots = 9 + 15 + 11 = 35

a. Probability of getting gold = number of gold / total shots

Probability = 9/35

b. Probability of not being in blue = gold + red / total shots

gold + red = 9+15 = 24

Probability = 24 /35
