why
The frequency of yellow skittles is 18 out of 100, which means that there are 18 yellow skittles in a bag of 100 skittles. To calculate the probability of pulling a yellow skittle, we divide the number of yellow skittles by the total number of skittles:
P(Yellow) = Number of Yellow Skittles / Total Number of Skittles = 18/100 = 0.18
Therefore, the approximate probability of pulling a yellow skittle from a bag of skittles is 0.18 or 18%.
P(Yellow) = Number of Yellow Skittles / Total Number of Skittles = 18/100 = 0.18
Therefore, the approximate probability of pulling a yellow skittle from a bag of skittles is 0.18 or 18%.
