Question

on her various camping trips, kendra kept a log of the types of snakes she saw. she noted their colors and approximate lengths.
what is the probability that a randomly selected snake is bright orange and is not at least 1 foot long?
simplify any fractions.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total number of snakes

Total snakes = \(3 + 2+4 + 2=11\)

Step2: Find number of bright - orange and under 1 - foot snakes

Number of bright - orange and under 1 - foot snakes is \(4\)

Step3: Calculate probability

Probability \(P=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}=\frac{4}{11}\)

Answer:

\(\frac{4}{11}\)
