Question

emily chooses a paper clip from a box without looking. she records the color and replaces the paper clip. she repeats this several times. the table shows her results. based on her results, what is the probability of choosing a blue paper clip from the box? the table on the right: color (yellow, red, blue) and frequency (6, 13, 5). the left table has color (yellow, red, blue) and probability (1/4, 13/24, ?) with options for each colors probability.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total trials

$6 + 13 + 5 = 24$

Step2: Find blue probability

$\text{Probability} = \frac{\text{Blue Frequency}}{\text{Total Trials}} = \frac{5}{24}$

Answer:

$\frac{5}{24}$
