rodrigo is organizing his cd collection. he has 5 pop cds and 85 other cds. if rodrigo randomly selects one of his cds, what is the probability that it will be a pop cd? write your answer as a fraction or whole number. p(pop) =

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total number of CDs

$5 + 85=90$

Step2: Calculate probability of selecting a pop - CD

$P(\text{pop})=\frac{\text{Number of pop CDs}}{\text{Total number of CDs}}=\frac{5}{90}$

Step3: Simplify the fraction

$\frac{5}{90}=\frac{1}{18}$

Answer:

$\frac{1}{18}$
