non-calculator Simple Total: 1 mark
A box contains 3 blue pens, 4 red pens and 8 green pens only. A pen is chosen at random from the box. Find the probability that this pen is green.
Answer
\[ \text{Total pens} = 3 + 4 + 8 = 15 \] \[ \text{Number of green pens} = 8 \] \[ P(\text{green}) = \frac{8}{15} \]
