Question

Please answer as soon as possible as i need the answer fast

Answer 1

`\sf probability : \bf 0.25`

Explanation:

1. The dimensions of a chess board is (8 × 8)
2. There are 64 squares on a chess board.
3. There are 8 black pawns and 8 white pawns.
4. Total pawns in a chess board: (8 + 8) = 16 pawns on 16 squares.

`\sf Probability = (favorable \ outcomes)/(total \ outcomes)`

`\dashrightarrow \ \sf probability : \ \bf (16)/(64)`

`\dashrightarrow \ \sf probability : \ \bf (1)/(4) \ \ \approx \ \ 0.25 \ \ (as \ a \ decimal)`

Answer 2

`\sf (1)/(4)`

Explanation:

`\sf Probability\:of\:an\:event\:occurring = (Number\:of\:ways\:it\:can\:occur)/(Total\:number\:of\:possible\:outcomes)`

From inspection of the diagram:

• Total number of pawns = 16
• Total number of squares = 64

`\implies \textsf{P(landing on a pawn)} \sf = \frac{\textsf{Total number of pawns}}{\textsf{Total number of squares}}`

`\implies \textsf{P(landing on a pawn)} \sf = (16)/(64)=(1)/(4)`
