Question

blue 97
green 84
red 43
yellow 26
What is the probability of randomly choosing a student whose favorite color is green? Write your answer as a fraction in the simplest form

Answer 1

The total number of students is 97 + 84 + 43 + 26 = 250.

The number of students whose favorite color is green is 84.

Therefore, the probability of randomly choosing a student whose favorite color is green is 84/250, which simplifies to 42/125.

So, the probability is 42/125.
