Owen knows he only has three pencils in his backpack, and they are all yellow. He reaches into his backpack without looking and takes out a pencil. What is the probability that the pencil was yellow? Answer options with 5 options A. 0-thirds B. 1-third C. 2-thirds D. 3-thirds E. 3 over 1

B. 1-third

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for probability = Number of favorable outcomes/ Total number of outcomes

From the question, we are told that:

Owen knows he only has three pencils in his backpack, and they are all yellow. Hence, total number of outcomes = 3

He reaches into his backpack without looking and takes out a pencil.

Hence, total number of favorable outcomes = 1

What is the probability that the pencil was yellow?

Probability ( That the pencil is yellow) =

Number of favorable outcomes/ Total number of outcomes

= 1/3

Therefore, the probability that the pencil was yellow is 1/3 or one - thirds

3< x< 5

step-by-step explanation:

|x - 4| < 1

there are two solutions, one positive and one negative.   remember to flip the inequality when taking the negative solution

x-4 < 1       x-4 > -1

add 4 to each side

x-4+4 < 1+4       x-4+4 > -1+4

x< 5                 x> 3

3< x< 5
