D 0.190.19
Question 2
17 ballons all together and 3 are red
The answer is B) 0.17.
To find the probability of picking a red balloon at random, we divide the number of red balloons by the total number of balloons:
Probability of picking a red balloon = Number of red balloons / Total number of balloons
In this case, the number of red balloons is 3 and the total number of balloons is 17.
Probability of picking a red balloon = 3/17
Rounded to the nearest hundredth, this is 0.17.
bot is wrong its .18
I apologize for the earlier incorrect response. You are correct that the probability of picking a red balloon at random from a total of 17 balloons with 3 being red is actually P = 3/17 ≈ 0.18. So the answer is C) 0.18, rounded to the nearest hundredth. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
To find the probability of picking a red balloon at random, you need to divide the number of red balloons by the total number of balloons.
In this case, there are 3 red balloons out of a total of 17 balloons.
To find the probability, you divide 3 by 17:
Probability = 3/17 ≈ 0.18
Therefore, the answer is C: 0.18
