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
