Question

the people who responded to a survey reported that they had either brown, green, blue, or hazel eyes. the results of the survey are shown in the table. what is the probability that a person chosen at random from this group has brown or green eyes? eye color number of people brown 20 green 6 blue 17 hazel 7

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total number of people

Add the number of people for each eye - color: \(20 + 6+17 + 7=50\)

Step2: Calculate number of people with brown or green eyes

Add the number of people with brown and green eyes: \(20 + 6 = 26\)

Step3: Calculate the probability

Probability \(P=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}\). Here, \(P=\frac{26}{50}=\frac{13}{25}\)

Answer:

\(\frac{13}{25}\)
