A company makes 150 bags.
23 of the bags have buttons but no zips.
35 of the bags have zips but no buttons.
49 of the bags have neither zips nor buttons.
A bag is selected at random.
What is the probability that the bag has buttons?

Sagot :

Answer:

66/150

Step-by-step explanation:

So the question asks the probabilty for buttons.

so we see that 23 has buttons so we discard for now,

35 has no buttons but a zip so we acknowledge it

49 has no buttons and no zips so we keep it too.

now we do 35+49 which is 84.

since there is 150 bags and 84 of those bags dont have buttons, the rest must do.

150-84=66

so there are 66 bags with buttons so we put this in a fraction -> 66/150

Tangent (non necessary for the question persay):

since we cant simplify you keep it as 66/150. If you are doing this on mathswatch, then remeber if there is a question like this next and you can simplify, simplify.

for this question it is not necessary.

Mathswatch users only:

Also a trick for mathswatch if you get it wrong, go to task bar, search the task name (it will be below search/taskbar) then type number press enter and you have 2 more turns. You can repeat this how many times you need to.

The probability that the bag is selected at random have buttons is 11/25.

What is probability?

Probability is the chance of happning an event among all the events possible. It lies between 0 and 1. It is calculated by dividing number of items by total number of items.

How to calculate probability?

We have been given that company makes 150 bags out of which 23 of the bags have buttons but no zips and we have to calculate the probability that a bag chosen at random have buttons.

35 of the bags have zips but no buttons.49 of the bags have neither zips nor buttons.so we see that 23 has buttons so we discard for now, 35 has no buttons but a zip so we can say that it that 49 has no buttons and no zips so we keep it too.now we do 35+49 which is 84. Because there are  150 bags and 84 of those bags dont have buttons, the rest must do.

150-84=66, we got that there are 66 bags with buttons so we put this in a fraction= 66/150.

Probability=66/150

Hence the probability of getting a bag that has buttons is 66/150.
