On a street with 7 houses, 2 houses are blue. If a house from this street is selected at random, what is the probability of selecting a house that is blue?

Correct answer: B. 2/7

  • A. 1/7
  • B. 2/7
  • C. 5/7
  • D. 7/7

Explanation

Choice B is correct. If a house from the street is selected at random, the probability of selecting a house that is blue is equal to the number of houses on the street that are blue divided by the total number of houses on the street. Since there are 2 blue houses on a street with 7 total houses, the probability of selecting a house that is blue from this street is 2/7.
