Question

A plastic sack contains 20 green and yellow, 14 red and yellow, and 16 orange and yellow gummy treats. How much greater is the probability you will randomly select a green and yellow treat that an orange and yellow treat?

Answer 1

Probability of choosing green and yellow treat is higher than Probability of choosing an orange and yellow treat by 0.08

Explanation:

Given -

Green and yellow gummy treats = 20

Red and yellow gummy treats = 14

Orange and yellow gummy treats = 16

Total gummy treat = 20+14+16 = 50

Probability of choosing green and yellow treat = 20/50 = 0.4

Probability of choosing an orange and yellow treat = 16/50 = 0.32

Probability of choosing green and yellow treat is higher than Probability of choosing an orange and yellow treat by 0.08
