Answer: [tex]P(salamanders)\text{ = 0.25 }[/tex]
Explanation:
Given:
number of salamanders = 5
number of crayfish = 3
number of minnows = 12
To find:
the probability of salamanders
To determine the P(salamanders), we will divide the number of salamanders by total animals
Total animals = 5 + 3 + 12
Total animals = 20
[tex]\begin{gathered} P(salamanders)\text{ = }\frac{5}{20} \\ \\ P(salamanders)\text{ = }\frac{1}{4} \end{gathered}[/tex]
In decimal place:
[tex]P(salamanders)\text{ = 0.25 \lparen2 dp\rparen}[/tex]
