Based on the above chart: What is the probability of selling a Blueberry donut?

1 answer

To find the probability of selling a Blueberry donut, you'll first need to find the total number of donuts represented in the chart.

You have the following donuts and their quantities:

  • Chocolate Cream filled: 1
  • Strawberry: 10
  • Kale frosted: 6
  • Blueberry: 3
  • Cream filled surprise: 5

Now, add these quantities together to get the total:

Total = 1 (Chocolate Cream) + 10 (Strawberry) + 6 (Kale frosted) + 3 (Blueberry) + 5 (Cream filled surprise)
Total = 1 + 10 + 6 + 3 + 5 = 25

Next, the probability \( P \) of selling a Blueberry donut is given by:

\[ P(\text{Blueberry}) = \frac{\text{Number of Blueberry donuts}}{\text{Total number of donuts}} \]

Substituting the values you have:

\[ P(\text{Blueberry}) = \frac{3}{25} \]

Therefore, the probability of selling a Blueberry donut is \( \frac{3}{25} \) or 0.12 (12%).
