Answer:P(milk) 5/18 - 27% ----------- P(not milk) 13/18- 73%

Explanation:

total chocolates in the bag= 18 (5 milk chocolates + 13 dark chocolates= 18 chocolates in total)

to find percentages divide numerator by denominator ( 5/18 = 27%) (13/18=73%)

P(milk) - 27% chance you will get milk chocolate

P(not milk) 73% chance you will get dark chocolate

It is more likey to get dark chocolate
