Based on the above chart: What is the probability of selling a Cream Filled surprise?

1 answer

To calculate the probability of selling a "Cream filled surprise," you first need to find the total number of items in the chart and then determine how many of those are "Cream filled surprise."

From the chart, we have:

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

Now, calculate the total number of items:

Total = 1 + 10 + 6 + 3 + 5 = 25

Now, the probability of selling a Cream filled surprise is calculated as follows:

\[ \text{Probability} = \frac{\text{Number of Cream filled surprises}}{\text{Total number of items}} \]

So,

\[ \text{Probability} = \frac{5}{25} = \frac{1}{5} = 0.2 \]

Therefore, the probability of selling a Cream filled surprise is 0.2 or 20%.
