Respuesta :

Answer: P(pink or yellow) = [tex]\frac{51}{83}[/tex], ≈ 0.6145 or ≈ 61.45%

Step-by-step explanation:

We will divide the number of possible wanted outcomes by the number of total possible outcomes to find the probability that it is pink or yellow.

        [tex]\displaystyle \frac{\text{Number of possible wanted outcomes}}{\text{Number of total possible outcomes}} =\frac{\text{Pink and yellow tokens}}{\text{Tokens in bag}}[/tex]

Substitute known values and divide.

        [tex]\displaystyle \frac{22+29}{15+17+22+29} =\frac{51}{83} =0.6144578[/tex]

The probability is 51/83
