Answer:

The probability of a blue jay being the next bid papa sees 0.4214

Step-by-step explanation:

Definition of probability:-

In a random experiment, let there be 'n' mutually exclusive and equally likely elementary events. Let 'E' be an event of the experiment. If 'm' elementary events form event E(are favorable to E) then the probability of E( probability

of happening of E or chance of E) , is defined as

P(E) = [tex]\frac{m}{n}[/tex]

Given data 59 blue jays, 68 black crows, and 12 red robins and one cardinal

so total 59+68+12+1 = 140

The probability of a blue jay being the next bid papa sees

 P(E) = [tex]\frac{59c1 }{140c_{1} }[/tex]  = [tex]\frac{59}{140}[/tex] = 0.4214

Final answer:-

The probability of a blue jay being the next bid papa sees is 0.4214
