What is the likelihood of drawing a chocolate candy? A. It is more likely than drawing a piece of dried fruit. B. It is less likely than drawing a piece of dried fruit. C. It is more likely than drawing a peanut. D. It is less likely than drawing a peanut.

Answer 1

Answer:

D. It is less likely than drawing a peanut.

Explanation:

Bag of Trail Mix is one half full of peanuts , so likeliness of drawing a piece of  peanut = 1 / 2

Remaining combined likeliness of drawing a piece chocolate candy , dry fruit = 1/2.

So, Likeliness of drawing a piece of chocolate candy only < 1/2

Therefore, Likeliness of drawing a piece of chocolate candy is less than likeliness of drawing a piece of peanut.
