The soccer team receives good luck colored bracelets before each game. There are 7 different colors. The bracelet colors for 40 soccer players are shown in the table below.
4 red 6 green yellow 2 orange 9 blue 8 purple 7 white 4
Based on the data, what is the probability that the next soccer player will receive a blue bracelet?
To find the probability that the next soccer player will receive a blue bracelet, we first need to calculate the total number of bracelets received by all players:
4 + 6 + 2 + 9 + 8 + 7 + 4 = 40
Next, we calculate the number of blue bracelets received:
9
So, the probability that the next soccer player will receive a blue bracelet is:
9 (number of blue bracelets) / 40 (total number of bracelets) = 9/40 = 0.225
Therefore, the probability that the next soccer player will receive a blue bracelet is 0.225 or 22.5%.
