a bowl contain 30 eggs,6 of which are broken. If an egg is chosen at random,what is the probability that it is not broken?
So out of the 60 eggs, how many are NOT broken?
To find the probability that an egg chosen at random is not broken, we need to know the total number of eggs that are not broken and the total number of eggs in the bowl.
The total number of eggs in the bowl is given as 30.
The number of broken eggs is given as 6.
Therefore, the number of eggs that are not broken can be calculated by subtracting the number of broken eggs from the total number of eggs: 30 - 6 = 24.
So, there are 24 eggs that are not broken.
Now, to find the probability of selecting an egg that is not broken, we divide the number of eggs that are not broken by the total number of eggs.
Probability = (Number of eggs not broken) / (Total number of eggs)
Probability = 24 / 30
Simplifying this fraction, we get:
Probability = 4 / 5
Therefore, the probability that an egg chosen at random from the bowl is not broken is 4/5 or 0.8, which can also be written as 80%.
