APRILP - CUMULATIVE QUESTION #1

You have a notebook of 23 sheets of paper; and 3 of them are black. A page falls from your notebook; what is the probability it was a black sheet?

3/23
(3 is the favourable outcome and 23 is the total possible outcome)

3 divided by 23 = 0.13%

The probably it being a black sheet is 13%
