What is the probability that a randomly selected candle is orange scented?

Mathematics
1 answer:
kherson [118]3 years ago
8 0

Since the factory produces equal numbers of 4 types of candles, we can find the number of candles it produces of any given type:

\dfrac{8000 \,\textrm{candles}}{4 \,\textrm{types}} = 2000 \,\dfrac{\textrm{candles}}{\textrm{type}}


We have found that the factory produces 2000 candles of each type. Since the probability of something happening is the number of favored outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes, we can find the probability of an orange scented candle being chosen are:

P(\textrm{orange scented}) = \dfrac{2000}{8000} = \boxed{\dfrac{1}{4}}


The answer is 1/4.

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

The coach's statement is not misleading because her average strikeouts  is 7.

Where as the coach also tells that it is 7.  

Step-by-step explanation:

The average is taken out by adding the observations and dividing by the total number of observations.

X`= ∑x/n     where n is the number of observations.

Average = 7 + 14 + 6 + 4 +5 +6 /6

Average = 42/6= 7

The coach's statement is not misleading because her average strikeouts  is 7.

Where as the coach also tells that it is 7.
