Q. Scarlett has the deluxe version of the card game Mysterious Monsters of the Deep with 33D images printed on the playing cards. She randomly selects one card from the deck, puts it back in the deck, and picks another card. She repeats this several times and gets 22 anglerfish, 33 vampire squids, 11 viperfish, 44 megamouth sharks, and 55 ghost fish.\newlineBased on the data, what is the probability that the next card Scarlett selects will have an anglerfish on it?\newlineWrite your answer as a fraction or whole number.
  1. Calculate total cards picked: Calculate the total number of cards Scarlett picked: 22 anglerfish ++ 33 vampire squids ++ 11 viperfish ++ 44 megamouth sharks ++ 55 ghost fish == ++00 cards.
  2. Determine anglerfish card count: Determine the number of times Scarlett picked an anglerfish card: 22 times.
  3. Calculate probability of anglerfish card: Calculate the probability of picking an anglerfish card next: Probability = Number of anglerfish cardsTotal number of cards picked=215\frac{\text{Number of anglerfish cards}}{\text{Total number of cards picked}} = \frac{2}{15}.
