on her various camping trips, shivani kept a log of the types of snakes she saw. she noted their colors and approximate lengths. what is the probability that a randomly selected snake is at least 1 foot long and bright orange? simplify any fractions.
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Calculate total number of snakes
$5 + 8+3 + 2=18$
Step2: Determine number of snakes that are at least 1 - foot long and bright orange
The number of snakes that are at least 1 - foot long and bright orange is 2.
Step3: Calculate the probability
The probability $P=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}=\frac{2}{18}=\frac{1}{9}$
Answer:
$\frac{1}{9}$
