1> A box contains five cutouts of the same triangle differing only on color. if one cutout is drawn at random, what is the probability of choosing a specific color?

1/5

thanks a lot

To find the probability of choosing a specific color, we need to compare the number of favorable outcomes (choosing the specific color) to the total number of possible outcomes.

In this case, there are five cutouts of the same triangle, but differing only in color. Let's assume the specific color you are interested in is green. If there is only one green cutout in the box, then the number of favorable outcomes is 1.

The total number of possible outcomes is the total number of cutouts in the box, which is 5 (since there are five cutouts in total).

Therefore, the probability of choosing a specific color, in this case, green, is given by:

Probability of choosing green = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of possible outcomes
= 1 / 5

So, the probability of choosing the specific color (green) is 1/5, or 0.2, or 20%.
