Owen knows he only has three pencils in his backpack, and they are all yellow. He reaches into his backpack without looking and takes out a pencil. What is the probability that the pencil was yellow? Answer options with 5 options A. 0-thirds B. 1-third C. 2-thirds D. 3-thirds E. 3 over 1

B. 1-third

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for probability = Number of favorable outcomes/ Total number of outcomes

From the question, we are told that:

Owen knows he only has three pencils in his backpack, and they are all yellow. Hence, total number of outcomes = 3

He reaches into his backpack without looking and takes out a pencil.

Hence, total number of favorable outcomes = 1

What is the probability that the pencil was yellow?

Probability ( That the pencil is yellow) =

Number of favorable outcomes/ Total number of outcomes

= 1/3

Therefore, the probability that the pencil was yellow is 1/3 or one - thirds

factor trees are nice.

the terms of a geometric sequence can be found by beginning with the first term and multiplying by the common ratio repeatedly. a recursive formula for a geometric sequence with common ratio r is given by an=ran−1 a n = r a n − 1 for n≥2 n ≥ 2 .
