What is the probability?

The chance that something will happen.

On Friday the farmer's hens laid 25 eggs.

There were 15 white eggs and 10 brown eggs.

The probability that the first egg randomly selected will be white is;

[tex]\rm Probability=\dfrac{White \ egg}{White \ egg + Brown \ egg}[/tex]

Substitute all the values in the formula

[tex]\rm Probability=\dfrac{White \ egg}{White \ egg + Brown \ egg}\\\\ Probability=\dfrac{15}{15+10}\\\\ Probability=\dfrac{15}{25}[/tex]

Hence, the probability that the first egg randomly selected will be white is 15/25, the correct option is D.
