Question
Without looking, Luke picks necklace beads from a bag of 52 beads. Half the beads are rough. The other half are smooth. There are 13 red beads, 13 blue beads, 13 green beads, and 13 black beads.

What is the theoretical probability of selecting a blue bead? Write the probability as a fraction in simplest form.

Enter the correct answer in the boxes.

Sagot :

Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is asking for the probability of just picking a blue bead

It does NOT say anything about picking a smooth or rough!

This means you don't have to worry about it being smooth or rough (it is just extra information to throw you off)

So to find just picking one blue bead, you want to have the amount of blue beads divided by the total amount of beads

the amount of blue beads is 13

and the total is 52

So:

13/52 is your probability, but you want to simplify

Which comes out to

1/4
