Question

A package of chocolates contains 3 caramel-

Answer 1

Answer:

P(caramel) = 3/10

P(raspberry) = 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

• Caramel chocolates = 3
• Raspberry chocolates = 3
• Fudge chocolates = 4

⇒ Total chocolates = 3 + 3 + 4 = 10

$\sf Probability \ of \ an \ event \ occurring = \dfrac{Number \ of \ ways \ it \ can \ occur}{Total \ number \ of \ possible \ outcomes}$

$\sf \implies P(picking \ caramel \ chocolate) = \dfrac{3}{10}$

If the picked caramel chocolate is NOT replaced then:

• Caramel chocolates = 3 - 1 = 2
• Raspberry chocolates = 3
• Fudge chocolates = 4
• Total chocolates = 10 - 1 = 9

$\sf \implies P(picking \ raspberry \ chocolate) = \dfrac39=\dfrac13$
