wanda runs a stable. 18 horses currently board at the stable, and 5 of them are bay. what is the probability that a randomly chosen horse will be bay? write your answer as a fraction or whole number. p(bay) =
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Recall probability formula
Probability = $\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$
Step2: Identify values
Number of bay - horses (favorable outcomes) = 5, total number of horses = 18
Step3: Calculate probability
$P(\text{bay})=\frac{5}{18}$
Answer:
$\frac{5}{18}$
