alright here are the answers to the probability basics practice check
1. 2, 4, 6, 8, 10. 12, 14, 16, 18, 20 make sure to put spaces after commas
2. 3/5
3. 1/3
4. 3/5
5. 21/26
YW
The total number of students in the survey is 20 + 12 + 10 + 8 + 6 + 4 = 60.
The probability of selecting a student with blue eyes is 20 (number of students with blue eyes) divided by 60 (total number of students) = 20/60 = 1/3.
Therefore, the chance of selecting a student with blue eyes is 1/3.
