refer to the table, which contains information about 36 jars of salsa available at a particular food pantry. if a jar is randomly selected, determine the probability that the salsa is brand b.

\

$$\begin{tabular}{lcccc} brand & mild & medium & hot & total \\\\ a & 6 & 3 & 1 & 10 \\\\ b & 5 & 4 & 2 & 11 \\\\ c & 7 & 8 & 0 & 15 \\\\ total & 18 & 15 & 3 & 36 \\end{tabular}$$

if a jar is randomly selected, the probability that the salsa is brand b is \square.
(simplify your answer.)

Explanation:

Identify total outcomes

Using the Theoretical Probability knowledge point

$$ N = 36 $$

Identify favorable outcomes

Using the Theoretical Probability knowledge point

$$ n = 11 $$

Calculate probability

Using the Theoretical Probability knowledge point

$$ P(\text{Brand B}) = \frac{11}{36} $$

Answer:

If a jar is randomly selected, the probability that the salsa is Brand B is <blank>\(\frac{11}{36}\)</blank>.
