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 red paper clip from the box? the table on the right has columns color and frequency, with yellow: 6, red: 18, blue: 5. another table has color (yellow, red) and probability (yellow: 1/4, red: blank).

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total trials

$6 + 13 + 5 = 24$

Step2: Find red probability

$\text{Probability (Red)} = \frac{\text{Red Frequency}}{\text{Total Trials}} = \frac{13}{24}$

Answer:

$\frac{13}{24}$
