Billy is on a weekend fishing trip with his scout troop. So far he has caught 4 trout and 10 catfish. What is the probability that the next fish that Billy catches will be a catfish
We know that Billy caught total 4+10=14 fishes including trout and catfish. P(catching the catfish): 10/14 Simplify that into 5/7. As a result, the probability that the next fish that Billy catches will be a catfish is 5/7. Hope it help!
