Question

guided practice
lets try another one. a bag contains 36 red, 48 green, 22 yellow, and 19 purple blocks. there are 125 blocks in the bag. you choose one block from the bag at random.
type the numerator in box 1 and the denominator in box 2 then click or tap done.
what is the theoretical probability of choosing a purple block from the bag?
express your answer as a fraction in lowest terms.
p(purple block) = \\(\frac{m}{n}\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify favorable outcomes

Number of purple blocks = 19

Step2: Identify total outcomes

Total number of blocks = 125

Step3: Calculate probability

$P(\text{purple block}) = \frac{\text{Number of purple blocks}}{\text{Total number of blocks}} = \frac{19}{125}$

Answer:

$\frac{19}{125}$
