We are given with a bag containing 13 dark chocolates, 16 white chocolates, and 11 milk chocolates. hence the sample space is 13 + 16 + 11 equal to 40 chocolates. The <span> probability that she randomly picks a white chocolate is 16/40 or 2/5 and that she picks a milk chocolate is 11/40. Hence the probability of picking either is (16+11) /40 equal to 27/40</span>
