Answer :
Answer:
0.75
Step-by-step explanation:
Green = 20 - 3 - 2 - 5 = 10
Yellow or green = 5+10 = 15
P(yellow or green) = 15/20
= 3/4 = 0.75
The probability of Ajay picking either a yellow or green counter from the bag is 3/4 or 75% because there are 15 yellow or green counters out of a total of 20 counters.
To find the probability that Ajay picks either a yellow or green counter from the bag, we first need to know the total number of yellow and green counters in the bag. We are given that there are 5 yellow counters and if we know there are 20 counters in total with 3 red and 2 blue, we can calculate the number of green counters. First, subtract the number of red and blue counters from the total:
20 - 3 (red) - 2 (blue) - 5 (yellow) = 10 (green)
Now we know there are 5 yellow + 10 green = 15 counters that are either yellow or green. The probability of picking a yellow or green counter is then the number of yellow or green counters divided by the total number of counters:
Probability = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of outcomes
Probability = 15 (yellow or green) / 20 (total counters) = 3/4 or 0.75
Thus, Ajay has a 3/4 or 75% chance of picking either a yellow or green counter from the bag.
