If you had three black cards, three white cards, and three green cards, what are the chances of drawing a green card on your first try? 1/6 1/9 1/27 1/3

Sagot :

it you be 3/9 which is simplified as 1/3

Answer:

The chances of drawing a green card on your first try is 1/3

Explanation:

It is given that,

No. of black cards, n₁ = 3

No. of white cards, n₂ = 3

No. of green cards, n₃ = 3  

We have to find the probability of drawing a green card on the first try. Probability is given by :

[tex]P=\dfrac{no\ of\ favorable\ outcome}{total\ no\ of\ outcomes}[/tex]

Here,

Total no of outcomes are 9 and no of favorable outcome is 3

So, [tex]P=\dfrac{3}{9}=\dfrac{1}{3}[/tex]

Hence, the correct option is (d) " 1/3 ".
