A bag contains 2 RED beads, 6 BLUE beads, and 12 GREEN beads. If a single bead is picked at random, what is the probability that the bead is RED or GREEN

Respuesta :

Answer:

70% probability that the bead is RED or GREEN

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

In this question, we have that:

2 + 12 = 14 red or green beads out of 2 + 6 + 12 = 20 beads

14/20 = 0.7 = 70%

70% probability that the bead is RED or GREEN
