Theoretical Probability

Example 4

Consider a loot bag with 35 sweets, of which 20 are mint candies and 15 caramel candies. If you will take one candy at random, what is the probability of selecting a mint candy?


Solution
There are 20 mint candies out of 35 candies in the loot bag.

Thus, the probability of selecting a mint candy is

P(A)= n N = 20 35 = 4 7 .
