Question

The bag contains 100 candies: 23 candies on blue paper, 27 with green, 29 with red remaining with yellow

(a) which event is most likely to occur

1) taken candy with yellow or blue paper

2) Taken candy with green or red paper​

Answer 1

2) is more likely.

Explanation:

Number of yellow candies = 100 - 23 - 27 - 29 = 21,

Prob(Taking candy of yellow or blue) = (21 + 23) / 100 = 44/100.

Prob(Taking candy of green or red) = (27 + 29) / 100 = 56/100.

Therefore No 2) is more likely.

Answer 2

Answer: 2)

Explanation:

First you do 100 - (23+27+29) and you find 21 which is the number of yellow candy.

Then you do 21+23 you find 44

Then you do 27+29 you find 56 so the second one is most likely to occur
