Question

Aunt Anne has a container of 24 cookies. The container has 2 oatmeal raisin cookies, and the rest are chocolate chip cookies. If Cyrus reaches in and takes a cookie without looking, is the probability of choosing a chocolate chip cookie impossible, unlikely, likely, or certain? Express the probability as a number between 0 and 1.

Answer 1

Likely

11/12 aka 0.916666666667 aka 91.67%

Explanation:

24 - 2 = 22

22/24

11/12
