Q. Hazel makes teddy bears to sell online. She has a huge box of pom-poms in different sizes that she sews onto the nose of each bear she makes. She randomly selects 1111 pom-poms from the box. Here are the sizes she selects: \newlinesmall, medium, large, small, medium, small, small, large, medium, large, medium \newlineBased on the data, what is the probability of selecting a small pom-pom?
  1. Count Small Pom-Poms: Count the total number of small pom-poms selected.\newlineReasoning: Identify how many small pom-poms are in the selection.\newlineCalculation: small=5\text{small} = 5
  2. Count Total Pom-Poms: Count the total number of pom-poms selected.\newlineReasoning: Determine the total number of pom-poms to calculate the probability.\newlineCalculation: total=11total = 11
  3. Calculate Probability: Calculate the probability of selecting a small pom-pom.\newlineReasoning: Divide the number of small pom-poms by the total number of pom-poms.\newlineCalculation: Probability = 511\frac{5}{11}
