Probability Counters Db8Ed2
1. **Stating the problem:** We have a bag containing counters of four colors: pink, yellow, green, and blue. We want to understand the probabilities of randomly drawing each color from the bag.
2. **Understanding probability:** Probability of an event is given by the formula:
$$\text{Probability} = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$$
3. **Important rules:**
- The sum of probabilities for all possible outcomes must equal 1.
- Each individual probability must be between 0 and 1 inclusive.
4. **Using the table:** Since the table is mentioned but not provided, the next step would be to sum the probabilities of pink, yellow, green, and blue counters to verify they add up to 1.
5. **Example:** If the table showed probabilities as $P(\text{pink})=0.2$, $P(\text{yellow})=0.3$, $P(\text{green})=0.1$, and $P(\text{blue})=0.4$, then:
$$0.2 + 0.3 + 0.1 + 0.4 = 1$$
which confirms the probabilities are valid.
6. **Conclusion:** To find the probability of drawing a specific color, use the value given in the table. If the table is missing, please provide it for precise calculations.
