Given a grid with 15 sections, determine how many sections in the grid need to be shaded so the probability of a point chosen at random in the shaded area is exactly 0. 8. Explain your reasoning.

Answer :

12 shade out of 15 boxes which gives 0.8 chance of picking a shaded one.

What is the probability?

Probability refers to a possibility that deals with the occurrence of random events. The probability of all the events occurring need to be 1.

The formula of probability is defined as the ratio of a number of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes.

There are 15 sections given

To make the probability of choosing a shaded section randomly 0.8,

So,

0.8 of 15

0.8 is equal to 80%

we need to figure out 80% of the 15

80% of 15

80% × 15

= 12

Hence, we would need to shade 12 out of 15 boxes which gives 0.8 chance of picking a shaded one.
