Robin randomly selects a number between 1 and 20. what is the probability that the number selected is the square of a natural number? a. 1 2 b. 3 20 c. 3 10 d. 1 5 e. 1 3

Respuesta :

The number selected is the square of a natural number is 1/5.

What is probability and example?

  • Probability = the number of ways of achieving success. the total number of possible outcomes.
  • For example, the probability of flipping a coin and it being heads is ½, because there is 1 way of getting a head and the total number of possible outcomes is 2 (a head or tail). We write P(heads) = ½ .

The square number between 1 and 20 = 1,4,9,16

The number of squares between 1 and 20 = 4

The total numbers between 1 and 20= 20

The probability that the number selected is the square of a natural number is given by -

P = Square number /total numbers

P = 4/20 = 1/5

Therefore,  the number selected is the square of a natural number is 1/5.
