Q. Laney went to the park and collected some cool rocks. She had four shiny * 44 puntos rocks, three blue rocks, and two rocks with holes. On the way to her vehicle, she lost two blue rocks. What is the probability of her friend picking a shiny rock out of her bag?\newline(A) 4/9 4 / 9 \newline(B) 4/8 4 / 8 \newline(C) 4/7 4 / 7
  1. Calculate Total Rocks: Determine the total number of rocks Laney had initially.\newlineShe had 44 shiny rocks, 33 blue rocks, and 22 rocks with holes.\newlineTotal rocks initially = 44 shiny + 33 blue + 22 with holes\newlineTotal rocks initially = 99 rocks
  2. Calculate Rocks After Loss: Calculate the number of rocks Laney has after losing two blue rocks.\newlineShe lost 22 out of the 33 blue rocks.\newlineTotal rocks after losing 22 blue rocks = 99 initial rocks - 22 blue rocks\newlineTotal rocks after losing 22 blue rocks = 77 rocks
  3. Calculate Probability: Calculate the probability of picking a shiny rock from the remaining rocks.\newlineThe number of shiny rocks remains the same, which is 44.\newlineProbability = Number of shiny rocks / Total number of rocks after losing blue rocks\newlineProbability = 44 shiny rocks / 77 total rocks\newlineProbability = 47\frac{4}{7}
