Question

i have a bag of trail mix . one half of the bag is peanuts. 1/4 of the bag is chocolate candies , and 1/4 of the bag is died fruit . what is the likelihood of drawing a chocolate candy ? A. It is more likely than drawing a piece of dried fruit . B.it is less likely than drawing a piece of dried fruit. C. It is more likely than drawing a peanut D.it is less likely drawing a peanut

Answer 1

In our bag, 1/2 is peanuts, 1/4 is chocolate and 1/4 is dried fruit.

The likelihood of drawing a chocolate therefore is 1/4. 

The likelihood of drawing a peanut is 1/2 and the likelihood of drawing a dried fruit is 1/4.

Thus, D is the correct answer because the 1/4 likelihood of drawing a chocolate is less than the 1/2 chance of drawing a peanut.
