q 27.) a bag of animal crackers contains 5 lions, 4 elephants, 6 horses, and 3 bears. suppose you draw a cracker at random. what is the probability of choosing a lion? express your answer as a fraction.
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Calculate total number of crackers
$5 + 4+6 + 3=18$
Step2: Determine number of favorable outcomes
Number of lions is 5.
Step3: Calculate probability
Probability = $\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}=\frac{5}{18}$
Answer:
$\frac{5}{18}$
