Question

Tomiko has a bag that contains several different types of apples. She reaches in the bag, randomly pulls out an apple, records the type in a table, and then places it back in the bag. Her results are shown in the table below.

Type Frequency
Red Delicious 11
Golden Delicious 6
Granny Smith 20
Fuji 3
Gala 10
Using the results from the table, determine the probability of Tomiko selecting a Granny Smith apple and plot that value on the number line.

Tomiko opens the bag up and discovers there are 4 Granny Smith apples, 1 Golden Delicious apple, 1 Fuji apple, 2 Red Delicious apples, and 2 Gala apples. Use these findings to calculate the probability of randomly picking a Gala apple from the bag. Plot this value on the number line.

Answer 2

To calculate the probability of selecting a Granny Smith apple, you need to divide the frequency of Granny Smith apples by the total number of apples in the bag.

Total number of apples = 11 (Red Delicious) + 6 (Golden Delicious) + 20 (Granny Smith) + 3 (Fuji) + 10 (Gala) = 50

Probability of selecting a Granny Smith apple = 20/50 = 0.4

Plotting 0.4 on the number line:

---0-------0.4------1---

To calculate the probability of selecting a Gala apple from the revised bag contents, you need to divide the frequency of Gala apples by the total number of apples in the bag.

Total number of apples = 4 (Granny Smith) + 1 (Golden Delicious) + 1 (Fuji) + 2 (Red Delicious) + 2 (Gala) = 10

Probability of selecting a Gala apple = 2/10 = 0.2

Plotting 0.2 on the number line:

---0.0-------0.2------1.0---

Answer 3

To calculate the probability of selecting a Granny Smith apple, the fraction would be 20/50.

Plotting 20/50 on the number line:

---0-------20/50------1---

To calculate the probability of selecting a Gala apple, the fraction would be 2/10.

Plotting 2/10 on the number line:

---0-------2/10------1---
