Doug bought 10 new country songs and 6 new rock songs for his music player. If his player randomly selects one of the new songs Doug just bought to play, what is the probability it will be a rock song?

Answer 1

The total number of new songs Doug bought is:

10 + 6 = 16

The number of new rock songs Doug bought is:

6

Therefore, the probability of his player randomly selecting a rock song is:

6/16 = 3/8

So, the probability of a rock song being selected is 3/8.

Answer 2

There are 88 balls in a bucket. The balls are numbered from 1 to 88. One ball is randomly selected from the bucket.

What is the probability that ball #55 is chosen?
