Question Probability

Question

The probability of landing on cyan is 38% and yellow is 16%. The probability of landing on blue is equal to the probability of landing on red. Determine the probability of landing on red as a percentage.

Answer 1

P(cyan) = 0.38

P(yellow) = 0.16

P(blue) = P(red) = x

All the probabilities of events will add up to 1.

P(cyan) + P(yellow) + P(red) = 1

0.38 + 0.16 + x = 1

0.54 + x =1

x = 0.46

Therefore, P(red) = 46%.
