Answer 1

Answer: $\dfrac14$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The factory produces equal quantities of four flavors cherry lemon orange and strawberry.

Let  orange candy= cherry = lemon = strawberry  = x

Total candies = x + x + x + x= 4x

The probability that a randomly selected candy is orange = $\dfrac{x}{4x}=\dfrac14$

Hence, the probability that a randomly selected candy is orange = $\dfrac14$
