Question

UpStudy AI · Accepted Answer

To determine the probability of picking a **pink or yellow** token from the bag, follow these steps:

1. **Calculate the Total Number of Tokens:**
   - Black tokens: 15
   - Green tokens: 17
   - Pink tokens: 22
   - Yellow tokens: 29

**Total tokens = 15 + 17 + 22 + 29 = 83**

2. **Determine the Number of Favorable Outcomes (Pink or Yellow):**
   - Pink tokens: 22
   - Yellow tokens: 29

**Favorable outcomes = 22 + 29 = 51**

3. **Calculate the Probability:**
   
   $$
   P(\text{pink or yellow}) = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of tokens}} = \frac{51}{83}
   $$

This fraction is already in its simplest form since 51 and 83 have no common factors other than 1.

**Answer:**  
The probability is 51⁄83.
The probability of picking a pink or yellow token is 51⁄83.
