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.
Would it be 95/185=19/37
B. Find the theoretical probability of selecting a brown rubber band.
Would it be 90/185=18/37
If not please show me how to do this.

Answer 1

Yes, both are correct. `u`

Answer 2

Thank you so much!!!

Answer 3

You are correct.

Since you have to find the probabilities of picking both rubber band types from the box, you need the total number of rubber bands. Which you added correct.

From there just get the answers by putting the appropriate numbers (for each colors) as the numerators and the sum (185) as the denominators.

I say you are correct.
