Question

A bag contains 12 pieces of candy, all the same size. Four of the candies are lemon flavored. Which approach would be best to find the probability of randomly drawing a lemon-flavored piece of candy? A. subjective approach B. classical approach C. relative frequency approach

Answer 1

Classical approach.

I just took the test.

Answer 2

Answer: Relative frequency approach

Explanation:

In relative frequency of an event is defined as the number of times that the event occurs during experimental trials, divided by the total number of trials conducted in the given event.

That is if there are total 9 boys in which 4 are from Us.

Then the probability of choosing a boy of Us= Number of boys from US/ total number of boys= 4/9

In our question, we have total pieces of candy= 12

In which lemon-flavored piece of candy = 4

the probability of randomly drawing a lemon-flavored piece of candy= 4/12

= lemon-flavored piece of candy/ total pieces of candy

Thus, we are using relative frequency approach for finding the probability.

Therefore, Option C is correct.
