A lollipop is chosen at random from a bucket of lollipops. The probability that the lollipop chosen will be grape-flavored is 3 4 ) Which of the following could NOT be the number of lollipops in the bucket ? A. 16 B. 28 C. 49 D. 144

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

As we can only have a whole number of lollipops, if 3/4 are grape-flavoured, that means the total number of lollipops must be divisible by 4. The only option that isn’t is 49.
