giovanna owns a farm. she is going to randomly select one animal to present at the state fair. she has 6 pigs, 7 chickens, and 10 cows. what is p(chicken)? if necessary, round your answer to 2 decimal places.

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total number of animals

$6 + 7+10=23$

Step2: Calculate probability of selecting a chicken

$P(\text{chicken})=\frac{\text{Number of chickens}}{\text{Total number of animals}}=\frac{7}{23}\approx 0.30$

Answer:

$0.30$
