Question

There are 10 sweets in a bag.

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 0.3.

b) 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: The scale of probability is not given properly. So, the probability of following events are given below:

It is given that,

Total number of sweets in a bag = 10

Red sweets = 4

Green sweets = 2

Yellow sweets = 3

Purple sweet = 1

a)

We need to find the probability of choosing a yellow sweet.

$P(Y)=\dfrac{\text{Yellow sweets}}{\text{Total number of sweets in a bag}}$

$P(Y)=\dfrac{3}{10}$

$P(Y)=0.3$

Therefore, the probability of choosing a yellow sweet is 0.3.

b)

We need to find the probability of choosing a sweet that is not orange.

$P(O')=1-\dfrac{\text{Orange sweets}}{\text{Total number of sweets in a bag}}$

$P(O')=1-\dfrac{0}{10}$

$P(O')=1$

Therefore, the probability of choosing a sweet that is not orange is 1.
