Question

A jar contains chocolate candies. There are 12 red, 17 blue, 5 green and 6 orange. What is the probability of picking either a green or blue candy, replacing it and then picking an orange candy? Express the probability as a fraction in simplest form

Answer 1

Explanation:

If you sum everything, you'll get 50 candies. Now you know that 50 candies is 100%.

Now you'll calculate the probability:

12 on 50 : 24.00 %

17 on 50 : 34.00 %

5 on 50 : 10.00 %

6 on 50 : 12.00 %
