Question

if he allows 40 people to choose a treat from the bag about how many lizard lollis can he expect to give away

Answer 1

20 Lizard lollies.

Explanation:

There are 10 lizard lollis. This is out of 10+4+6 = 20 total treats. This makes the probability of drawing a lizard lollis 10/20 = 1/2.

This means out of 40 treats handed out, we can expect him to give out 1/2(40) = 20 lizard lollis.
