Question

A basket contains decorated eggs. It contains 7 blue eggs, 4 white eggs, 8 green eggs, and 5 yellow eggs. One egg is selected at random from the basket.

What is the probability that it is a yellow egg?

Express your answer as a decimal to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

What are the total number of eggs in the basket?

 

7 + 4 + 8 + 5 = 24 eggs

 

If one egg is selected at random, the probability that it is yellow is 5/24.

 

5/24 = 0.21
