Question

suppose amy has a bag of colored wristbands and she chooses one without looking. the bag contains a total of 20 wristbands, of which 17 are yellow. complete parts a and b. a. what is the probability of choosing a yellow wristband? p(yellow) = \frac{17}{20} (type an integer or a fraction.) b. is it likely, unlikely, or neither likely nor unlikely that amy will choose a yellow wristband? it is neither likely nor unlikely that amy will choose a yellow wristband.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate yellow wristband probability

Probability = $\frac{\text{Number of yellow wristbands}}{\text{Total number of wristbands}} = \frac{17}{20}$

Step2: Assess likelihood of selection

A probability of $\frac{17}{20} = 0.85$ (85%) is greater than 0.5, so it is likely.

Answer:

a. $\frac{17}{20}$
b. likely
