(1 point)
To find the probability of randomly choosing a student whose favorite color is green, you would need to know the total number of students and the number of students whose favorite color is green.
Let's say there are 20 students in total and 5 students whose favorite color is green.
The probability of randomly choosing a student whose favorite color is green would be:
5 (favorable outcomes) / 20 (total outcomes) = 5/20 = 1/4
Therefore, the probability of randomly choosing a student whose favorite color is green is 1/4.

yellow 26
To find the probability of randomly choosing a student whose favorite color is green, we need to use the number of students whose favorite color is green (84) and the total number of students (97+84+43+26=250).
The probability of randomly choosing a student whose favorite color is green would be:
84 (favorable outcomes) / 250 (total outcomes) = 84/250
To simplify the fraction, we find the greatest common divisor of 84 and 250, which is 2:
84 ÷ 2 = 42
250 ÷ 2 = 125
Therefore, the simplified form of the probability is:
84/250 = 42/125
So, the probability of randomly choosing a student whose favorite color is green is 42/125.
