Question

A box contains 95 pink rubber bands and 90 brown rubber bands. You select a rubber band at random from the box. Find each probability. Write the probability as a fraction in simplest form.

a. Find the theoretical probability of selecting a pink rubber band.

b. Find the theoretical probability of selecting a brown rubber band.

Answer 1

total bands: 185
P(pink) = 95/185
P(brown) = 90/185

I expect you can reduce the fractions.

Answer 2

Thanks
