Stephanie has a bag of individual star stickers she is using on her birthday party invitations. Which of these images shows that the probability of randomly choosing a yellow sticker next is 3/12?
To determine which of the given images shows a probability of 3/12 for choosing a yellow sticker next, we need to count the total number of stickers in each image and then count the number of yellow stickers in each image.
Let's go through each image and count the stickers:
Image 1: There are a total of 10 stickers, and 2 of them are yellow.
Image 2: There are a total of 12 stickers, and 3 of them are yellow.
Image 3: There are a total of 8 stickers, and 4 of them are yellow.
Image 4: There are a total of 6 stickers, and 1 of them is yellow.
Now, let's find the probability of choosing a yellow sticker next for each image by dividing the number of yellow stickers by the total number of stickers:
Image 1: 2 yellow stickers / 10 total stickers = 2/10 = 1/5
Image 2: 3 yellow stickers / 12 total stickers = 3/12 = 1/4
Image 3: 4 yellow stickers / 8 total stickers = 4/8 = 1/2
Image 4: 1 yellow sticker / 6 total stickers = 1/6
Based on the calculations, the image that shows a probability of 3/12 for choosing a yellow sticker next is Image 2.
