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. Bracelet Colors for Soccer Players Color Number of Bracelets red 4 green 6 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 need to calculate the number of blue bracelets divided by the total number of bracelets:
Number of blue bracelets = 8
Total number of bracelets = 4 + 6 + 2 + 9 + 8 + 7 + 4 = 40
Probability = Number of blue bracelets / Total number of bracelets
Probability = 8 / 40
Probability = 1/5
Probability = 0.2
Therefore, the probability that the next soccer player will receive a blue bracelet is 0.2 or 20%.
