Question

There are 50 car toys, 50 bus toys, and 50 truck toys in a kids toy store. Find the probability of chosing a car toy by a kid.

• A. $\frac{1}{4}$
• B. $\frac{1}{3}$
• C. $\frac{1}{50}$
• D. $\frac{1}{2}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $\frac{1}{3}$

$\text{Probability}=\frac{Numberoffavorableoutcomes}{Totalnumberofoutcomes}$

Number of car toys = 50
Number of bus toys = 50
Number of truck toys = 50

∴ Total number of outcomes = 50 + 50 + 50 = 150

Favorable outcome = 50

Hence, the probability value will be
$=\frac{50}{150}$

$=\frac{1}{3}$

Hence, the probability that the kid will $\text{choose a car toy is}\frac{1}{3}.$
