Question

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) =

Explanation:

Step1: Recall probability formula

The probability formula is $P(A)=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$.

Step2: Identify favorable and total outcomes

The number of favorable outcomes (bay - horses) is 5, and the total number of outcomes (total horses) is 18.

Step3: Calculate probability

$P(\text{bay})=\frac{5}{18}$

Answer:

$\frac{5}{18}$
