Answer:
8.9%
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we are to calculate the probability of Howard choosing a chocolate candy followed by a gummy candy.
The probability of selecting a chocolate candy = number if chocolate candy/ total number of candy
Total number of candy = 5 + 4 + 6 = 15
Number of chocolate candy = 5
The probability of selecting a chocolate candy = 5/15 = 1/3
The probability of selecting a gummy candy = number of gummy candies/total number of candies
Number of gummy candy = 4
The probability of selecting a gummy candy = 4/15
The probability of selecting a chocolate candy before a gummy candy = 1/3 * 4/15 = 4/45 = 0.088888888889
Which is same as 8.89 percent which is 8.9% to the nearest tenth of a percent
