Answer 1

The answer is 0.475 = 47.5%.

There are in total 40 things in the basket:
14 white eggs + 15 brown eggs + 11 lemons = 40.

Among those 40 things 29 are eggs:
14 white eggs + 15 brown eggs = 29

The exact probability that Taylor picks an egg from the basket is 0.475 or 47.5%:
19 ÷ 40 = 0.475
