Probability is the chance of an event occuring. It is obtained by the formula number of outcomes / total number of possible outcomes.
The probability of a blue jay being the next bird papa sees is given by number of blue jays / total number of birds = 59 / (59 + 68 + 12 + 1) = 59 / 140 = 0.4214

Using the probability concept, it is found that there is a 0.4214 = 42.14% probability of a blue jay being the next bird papa sees.

What is a probability?

A probability is given by the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

In this problem:

  • There is a total of 59 + 68 + 12 + 1 = 140 birds.
  • Of those, 59 are blue jays.

Hence:

[tex]p = \frac{59}{140} = 0.4214[/tex]

0.4214 = 42.14% probability of a blue jay being the next bird papa sees.
