Question

Lauren received a box of 12 identical-looking truffles for Valentine's Day. 3/4 of them have a fruit filling and 2/3 of the remaining are coffe-flavored. 1/3 of the fruit-filled ones have raspberry filling and 1/6 of the remaining fruit-filled truffles have strawberry flavor. What is the probability that she will draw a flavor she doesn't reconize.

A. 1/3
B. 2/5
C. 1/2
D. 3/4

Answer 1

The answer is c 1/2.

Answer 2

C. 1/2

9 of the truffles are fruit-filled. 2 are coffee-flavored. one is unaccounted for.

Of the 9 fruit-filled ones, 3 are raspberry and one is strawberry. 5 are unaccounted for.

Putting together the ones we don't know, we get 6 unknown ones. 6/12, or 1/2, is the answer.
