Maelynn has a bag full of cany-coated chocolate pieces. There are 12 red ones, 23 yellow ones, 25 blue ones, and 15 orange ones. What is the probability, expresed as a decimal, that she pulls out an orange one?

Answer 1

The total number of candy-coated chocolate pieces Maelynn has in her bag is:

12 (red) + 23 (yellow) + 25 (blue) + 15 (orange) = 75

The probability of pulling out an orange candy-coated chocolate piece is the number of orange ones divided by the total number of candy-coated chocolate pieces:

Probability = 15 / 75 = 0.2

Therefore, the probability, expressed as a decimal, that Maelynn pulls out an orange candy-coated chocolate piece is 0.2.
