Question

You decide to buy some berries as a surprise for your aunt from the local farmer’s market. However, when you arrive, you see that the market carries blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries. You know one of them is her favorite, but you cannot remember which one. What is the probability that you will choose the right type of berry at random?

Answer 1

Answer: 25 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The types of berries in the market : blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries.

The total number of types of berries in the market = 4

The favorable number of berries = 1

Then the required probability will be :-

$\dfrac{\text{Favorable outcome}}{\text{Total outcomes}}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{4}$

In percent, $\dfrac{1}{4}\times100=25\%$

Hence, the probability that you will choose the right type of berry at random = 25 %.

Answer 2

If the four choices are equally likely to be correct, the probability you will choose the correct one at random is 1/4.
