Question

There are six Mountain Dews, four Pepsis, five Sierra Mists, nine Orange Crushes, seven NuGrapes, three Mug root beers, and six Canada Dry ginger ales in the fridge. Find the probability of selecting a NuGrape or a ginger ale. Show work

Answer 1

I Hope it is correct

Explanation:

The total number of sodas in the fridge is:

6 + 4 + 5 + 9 + 7 + 3 + 6 = 40

The number of NuGrapes or ginger ales is:

7 (NuGrapes) + 6 (Canada Dry ginger ales) = 13

The probability of selecting a NuGrape or a ginger ale is the number of favorable outcomes (selecting a NuGrape or a ginger ale) divided by the total number of possible outcomes (selecting any soda):

Probability = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of possible outcomes

Probability = 13 / 40

Probability = 0.325

So, the probability of selecting a NuGrape or a ginger ale is 0.325 or 32.5%.
