Question

this month, carla caught the following fish in lake george: 24 trout, 41 sunfish, 12 perch, and 23 blue gills. if carla catches another fish this month, what is the probability of her catching a trout? about 1/2 about 1/4 about 1 about 1/24

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total number of fish

$24 + 41+12 + 23=100$

Step2: Calculate probability of catching a trout

The probability $P$ of catching a trout is the number of trout divided by the total number of fish. So $P=\frac{24}{100}=\frac{6}{25}\approx\frac{1}{4}$

Answer:

about $\frac{1}{4}$
