Nick has a bag of 30 pieces of candy.

There are an equal number of Nerds, Starburst
& Jolly Ranchers. Only Nick's favorites!
Callie chooses candy randomly from the bag.
.
What is the probability that she will choose a Starburst
or Jolly Rancher?

Answer

2/3

Explanation:

there are only 3 kinds of candy here and since they all have a equal number they have a chance of 1/3 each but since it is starburst OR jolly its 2/3
