Question

A bag of candy includes pieces with different colors as shown in the table.

Color of Candy Number of Pieces

Red : 3
Green:6
Yellow :5
Orange:2
Purple : 8

part A

What is the probability , as a decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth, if selecting a yellow piece of candy ?

Part B

If there were 200 pieces of candy in the bag, how many green pieces would you estimate are in the bag ?

PLEASE ANSWER EMERGENCY!

Answer 1

Part A: About 0.21

We will put the wanted outcome (yellow pieces of candy) over the total number of possible outcomes (total pieces of candy).

`(5)/(3+6+5+2+8)`

`(5)/(24)`

About 0.21

Part B: About 50

First we will do the same as we did with the yellow pieces of candy, wanted outcomes over possible outcomes.

`(6)/(3+6+5+2+8)`

`(6)/(24)`

0.25

Now, we will multiply the total 200 pieces by 0.25 since 0.25 of them are estimated to be green.

200 * 0.25 = 50

I estimate about 50 of the pieces to be green.
