Question

a bag contains 5 grape tootsie pops and 8 chocolate tootsie pops. if juan pulls a chocolate tootsie pop out of the bag and eats it what is the probability that the next pop he pulls out will be grape

Answer 1

Answer:

= 5 / 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is an outcome of chance. It is a measure of outcomes of events.

To solve the probability of picking a Tootsie Pop, we must comfortably know the contents of the bag.

Number of GRAPE Tootsie pops = 5

Number of CHOCOLATE Tootsie pops= 8

Total number of Tootsie pops = The sum of both Tootsie pops

Total number = 5 + 8

= 13.

Let's note that tge question said , Juan pulls a chocolate Tootsie Pop and eats. The implication is it has reduced the total number of Tootsie Pops left in the bag.

Therefore:

The probability that the next pop he pulls out will be grape will be

Probability (Grape) = 5 / (13 -1)

= 5 / 12

The probability that the next Pop he pulls out will be a grape = 5/12
