Answer:

Answer is 0.55

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of lime chocolate are = $9+11=20$

Out of this, 9 has a chocolate center and 11 does not.

So, we have been asked that if we choose one lollipop randomly and if it is known to be lemon, then what is the probability that it does not have a chocolate center? So, 11 do not have a chocolate center out of 20 total.

So, probability is = $\frac{11}{20}= 0.55$

To find this marginal probability, you would have to add up the totals for chocolate and no chocolate center. You should get 27 with and 33. 33 of the total of 60 have no chocolate center. Divide 33 by 60 to get 0.55, or your probability to pick out a lollipop without a chocolate center.
