A crate contain 50 eggs, out of which 18 are bad. I If an egg is picked at random from the crate, what is the probability that it is good?
1 - 18/50
Well, let's do some math! If there are 50 eggs in the crate and 18 of them are bad, that means there are 32 good eggs left. So the probability of picking a good egg is 32 out of 50, which simplifies to 16/25. So the probability of picking a good egg is a whopping 16/25, or as I like to call it, a "yolk-some" chance!
To find the probability of picking a good egg, we need to determine the number of good eggs in the crate and divide it by the total number of eggs.
The total number of eggs in the crate is 50, and the number of bad eggs is 18. Therefore, the number of good eggs is calculated by subtracting the number of bad eggs from the total number of eggs:
Good eggs = Total eggs - Bad eggs
Good eggs = 50 - 18
Good eggs = 32
Now, we can calculate the probability of picking a good egg by dividing the number of good eggs by the total number of eggs:
Probability of picking a good egg = Number of good eggs / Total number of eggs
Probability of picking a good egg = 32 / 50
Probability of picking a good egg = 0.64
So, the probability of picking a good egg at random from the crate is 0.64 or 64%.
To find the probability that an egg picked at random from the crate is good, we need to calculate the ratio of the number of good eggs to the total number of eggs.
Given that the crate contains 50 eggs and 18 of them are bad, we can subtract the number of bad eggs from the total number of eggs to find the number of good eggs.
Number of good eggs = Total number of eggs - Number of bad eggs
= 50 - 18
= 32
Now, we can calculate the probability of picking a good egg by dividing the number of good eggs by the total number of eggs:
Probability of picking a good egg = Number of good eggs / Total number of eggs
= 32 / 50
= 0.64
Therefore, the probability of picking a good egg from the crate is 0.64, or 64%.
