Exercise 36 Page 361

How many students have blue eyes?

0.15, see solution.

Practice makes perfect

Let's highlight the bar corresponding to the students who have blue eyes.

To find the probability, we need the number of students in the class. We can find this information reading the height of the bars.

Eye Color Number of Students
Green 1
Hazel 2
Blue 3
Brown 14
The probability that a randomly chosen student has blue eyes is the quotient of the number of students with blue eyes and the total number of students in the class.
P(blue eyes)=3/1+2+3+14
P(blue eyes)=3/20
P(blue eyes)=0.15
The probability that a randomly chosen student has blue eyes is 320, or 0.15.
