Question

a clown made purple and green balloon animals at a party. he kept track of the requests. what is the probability that a randomly selected balloon animal is green and is shaped like a dog? simplify any fractions.
green purple
giraffe 4 3
dog 3 3

Explanation:

Step1: Find total number of balloon - animals

Add up all the values in the table. $4 + 3+3 + 3=13$.

Step2: Find number of green dog - shaped balloon - animals

The number of green dog - shaped balloon - animals is 3.

Step3: Calculate the probability

The probability $P$ of an event is the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes. So $P=\frac{3}{13}$.

Answer:

$\frac{3}{13}$
