This month Carla caught the following fish in Lake George, 24 trout, 41 sunfish, 12 perch and 23 blue gills. If Carla catches another fish this month, what is the probability of her catching a trout?

A. about 1/2
B. about 1/4
C. about 1/24
D. about 1

My answer is I think 1/24 is this correct?

1/24

1/24

Ah, the odds are in! However, you might want to take a closer look at the numbers. Carla caught a total of 24 trout out of all the fish she caught this month. To find the probability of her catching another trout, we need to compare it to the total number of fish caught.

In this case, Carla caught a total of 24 + 41 + 12 + 23 = 100 fish in Lake George this month.

The probability of her catching a trout would then be 24 (number of trout) out of 100 (total fish caught). Simplifying this fraction gives us 24/100.

Now, let's simplify further. Both the numerator and the denominator can be divided by 4 to get 6/25.

So, the correct answer is not 1/24; it's actually (C) about 6/25. Keep fishing for the right answer, my friend!

To determine the probability of Carla catching a trout, we need to use the information provided about the number of each type of fish she caught.

First, let's find the total number of fish Carla caught:
Total number of fish = 24 trout + 41 sunfish + 12 perch + 23 blue gills = 100 fish

Next, let's calculate the probability of Carla catching a trout:
Probability of catching a trout = Number of trout / Total number of fish
= 24 trout / 100 fish
= 24/100
= 0.24

Since the probability is given as a fraction in the answer choices, we can simplify 0.24 using common factors:
0.24 = 24/100 = 6/25

Therefore, the probability of Carla catching a trout is approximately 6/25.

Looking at the answer choices:
A. about 1/2
B. about 1/4
C. about 1/24
D. about 1

The closest answer choice to 6/25 is C. about 1/24. Thus, your answer of 1/24 is indeed correct.
