Different shapes are drawn on cards and then the cards are placed in a bag. The number of cards for each shape is shown in the table.

Shape triangle square circle
Number of cards 16 16 18
What is the probability that a randomly selected card has a triangle drawn on it?

Respuesta :

The probability is 16/50 or 32 percent 

Answer: [tex]\frac{8}{25}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of cards in the bag=[tex]16+16+18=50[/tex]

The number of cards has triangle = 16

The probability that a randomly selected card has a triangle drawn on it is given by :-

[tex]=\frac{\text{Number of cards has triangle}}{\text{Total cards}}\\\\=\frac{16}{50}\\\\=\frac{8}{25}[/tex]

Hence, the probability that a randomly selected card has a triangle drawn on it =[tex]\frac{8}{25}[/tex]
