Question

1, in a jar, there are 30 candies, 12 are chocolate, 10 are mint, and 8 are caramel. What is the probability of picking a caramel candy?


2. If you flip a fair coin, what is the probability of getting heads?

Answer 1

1. Probability of picking a caramel candy = favorable/total = 8/30 = 4/15 ≈ 0.2667 ≈ 26.67%.

2. Probability of heads with a fair coin = 1/2 = 0.5 = 50%.
