Question

there are some animals at a wild animal rescue. the animal type and their number are shown in the table below. use the table to answer the following question.

animal	chimpanzee	bear	bobcat	wolf

based on the data, if an animal were randomly picked to be the first one to have its food delivered, what is the probability that a bobcat would be chosen first?

options:

• 16/35
• 1/5
• 1/7
• 12/35

Explanation:

Step1: Calcular el total de animales

Sumamos el número de cada tipo de animal: $16 + 7 + 5 + 7 = 35$.

Step2: Calcular la probabilidad de elegir un bobcat

La probabilidad es el número de bobcats dividido por el total de animales. El número de bobcats es 5, así que la probabilidad es $\frac{5}{35}=\frac{1}{7}$.

Answer:

$\frac{1}{7}$
