Question

a bag contains 15 black, 17 green, 22 pink, and 29 yellow tokens. you pick one token at random. find the probability that it is yellow or black. p(yellow or black) = simplify your answer completely.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total number of tokens

Total tokens = \(15 + 17+22 + 29=83\)

Step2: Calculate number of yellow or black tokens

Yellow or black tokens = \(15 + 29 = 44\)

Step3: Calculate probability

Probability \(P=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}=\frac{44}{83}\)

Answer:

\(\frac{44}{83}\)
