q 27.) a bag of animal crackers contains 5 lions, 4 elephants, 6 horses, and 3 bears. suppose you draw a cracker at random. what is the probability of choosing a lion? express your answer as a fraction.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total number of crackers

$5 + 4+6 + 3=18$

Step2: Determine number of favorable outcomes

Number of lions is 5.

Step3: Calculate probability

Probability = $\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}=\frac{5}{18}$

Answer:

$\frac{5}{18}$
