Given:
The number of chairs purchased is listed below:
Red: 150 White: 450
Green: 225 Blue: 375
Required:
To find the probability that the chair purchased will be red.
Explanation:
Total number of chairs = 150 + 450 + 225 + 375
= 1,200
The number of red chairs = 150
The probability formula is given as:
[tex]P=\frac{possible\text{ outcomes}}{Total\text{ number of outcomes}}[/tex]Thus the probability that the chair will be res is:
[tex]\begin{gathered} P=\frac{150}{1200} \\ P=\frac{1}{8} \\ P=0.125 \end{gathered}[/tex]Final answer:
The probability of a red chair is 0.125.
