Question

A basket contains 14 white eggs, 15 brown eggs, and 11 lemons. Taylor is in a hurry to make breakfast and picks something from the basket at random.

The exact probability that Taylor picks an egg from the basket is ?

Answer 1

0.40 percent chance of picking up an egg

Answer 2

Exact Probability that Taylor picks an egg from basket is 0.725

Explanation:

Number of white eggs in basket = 14

Number of brown eggs in basket = 15

Number of lemons in basket = 11

Total items in basket = 14 + 15 + 11 = 40

No of eggs in basket = 14 + 15 = 29

`Probability=(Number\:of\:favorable\:outcome)/(Number\:of\:total\:outcome)=(29)/(40)=0.725`

Therefore, Exact Probability that Taylor picks an egg from basket is 0.725
