Question

to help divide a group into 4 teams, the teacher brought out a bag with equal numbers of 4 different colored popsicle sticks (green, yellow, blue, and red). with 28 students randomly picking a stick, what is the probability that the first stick drawn will be green? (1 point) 0.250 0.143 0.036 0.571

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the number of favorable outcomes

Since there are 4 different colors and we want the green stick (1 favorable color).

Step2: Determine the total number of possible outcomes

The probability formula is \(P=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of possible outcomes}}\). Here, the total number of colors (possible outcomes) is 4.
So, \(P = \frac{1}{4}= 0.25\)

Answer:

0.250
