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.
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?
The total number of bracelets given to the soccer players is:
4 + 6 + 2 + 9 + 8 + 7 + 4 = 40
The number of blue bracelets given to the players is 8.
Therefore, the probability that the next soccer player will receive a blue bracelet is:
8/40 = 1/5 = 0.2
So the probability is 0.2 or 20%.
