Nobody likes to peel the potatoes for granny’s famous mashed taters. However someone has to do it. Granny puts 8 blocks in a bag. 4 red, 3 green and 1 yellow. She makes all the grandkids pick a block. If you pick green- you are a potato peeler. You pick first. What is the probability you will pick a green block

3 out of 8 of the blocks are green, so the chance you'll choose a green block is 3/8, 37.5% or 0.375.

Using the probability concept, it is found that there is a 0.375 = 37.5% probability you will pick a green block.

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes, that is:

[tex]p = \frac{D}{T}[/tex]

In this problem:

  • There are 3 green blocks, hence [tex]D = 3[/tex].
  • In total, there are 8 blocks, hence [tex]T = 8[/tex]

Then:

[tex]p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{3}{8} = 0.375[/tex]

There is a 0.375 = 37.5% probability you will pick a green block.
