5 home decoration magazines and 7 fashion magazines are on a shelf. What is the probability of drawing out one fashion magizine without looking]

Answer 1

There are a total of 12 magazines.

5 of them are home decoration magazines.

7 of them are fashion magazines.

Since we are not asked about any other parameters or a possible chance experiment, it would be safe to assume that we need to calculate the theoretical probability - the probability of picking a magazine before any chance experiment is completed.

P(picking a single fashion magazine) = (number of desired outcomes)/(number of total possible outcomes)

P(picking a single fashion magazine)= 7/12 = .5833333

Answer 2

The probability of drawing a fashion magazine is total number of fashion magazines/ total number of magazines = 7/12.

Answer 3

Probability of drawing out a fashion magazine = total number of fashion magazines/total number of magazines=7/12

Answer 4

Hello Ryleogh;

Basically,

To calculate the probability of drawing out one fashion magazine without looking, we need to know the total number of magazines on the shelf.

The total number of magazines on the shelf is 5 (home decoration magazines) + 7 (fashion magazines) = 12 magazines. Since we want to draw out one fashion magazine, the favorable outcome is drawing out a fashion magazine, and there are 7 fashion magazines on the shelf.

Therefore, the probability of drawing out one fashion magazine without looking is:

Probability = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of possible outcomes

Probability = 7 (number of fashion magazines) / 12 (total number of magazines)

Probability = 7/12

I hope I could be of help.

You can also represent in this format (0.5833 (rounded to four decimal places) or 58.33% (rounded to two decimal places).
