Question

10.a jar of 70 candies has the following colors: 28 orange, 7 white, 14 brown, and 21 yellow.what is the probability of randomly drawing a candy that is not brown, replacing it, and then drawing a white candy?

Answer 1

The probability of randomly drawing a candy that is not brown, replacing it, and then drawing a white candy is 0.08 or 8%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability of randomly drawing a candy that is not brown, replacing it, and then drawing a white candy, we need to find the probability of each event separately and then multiply them together.

Step 1: Probability of not drawing a brown candy = (total candies - number of brown candies) / total candies = (70 - 14) / 70 = 56 / 70 = 0.8

Step 2: Probability of drawing a white candy = number of white candies / total candies = 7 / 70 = 0.1

Step 3: Probability of both events happening = (Probability of not drawing brown candy) * (Probability of drawing white candy) = 0.8 * 0.1 = 0.08
