Question

on the walk to school each day, a student looks for pennies on the ground. out of 24 days, the student found a penny on 5 of the days. based on this data, determine the probability that the student will find a penny tomorrow.
(1 point)
○ 19/24
○ 5/24
○ 1/2
○ 24/5

Explanation:

Step1: Recall probability formula

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

Step2: Identify values

Number of days penny was found (favorable outcomes) \( = 5 \), total number of days (total outcomes) \( = 24 \)

Step3: Calculate probability

\( P=\frac{5}{24} \)

Answer:

\(\frac{5}{24}\) (the second option)
