1-41.
Sandy and Robert each have various polygons in their Polygon Buckets (see below). Sandy randomly selects a polygon from her Polygon Bucket, and Robert randomly selects a polygon from his.
Sandy | |
square | equilateral triangle |
rhombus | regular hexagon |
Robert | |
scalene triangle | kite |
isosceles trapezoid | quadrilateral |
right isosceles triangle |
Who has a greater probability of selecting a quadrilateral? Justify your conclusion.
Who has a greater probability of selecting an equilateral polygon? Justify your conclusion.
What is more likely to happen: Sandy selecting a polygon with at least two sides that are parallel or Robert selecting a polygon with at least two sides that are equal?
