Here are additional problems that weren't included in original post from 3/30.
4. There are 5 different color jolly ranchers in a bag - 10 cherry, 15 watermelon, 12 grape, 10 apple, and 8 raspberry. What is probability that you'll choose raspberry?
Ans: 8/55 =.1454 = 15%
5. In the same scenario as #4 above, what is the probability that you'll choose watermelon or apple?
15 + 10 = 25
Ans: 25/55 = 5/11 = ,4545 = 45%
6. In the same scenario as #4 above, say you choose a grape jolly rancher the 1st time, eat it, and then decide you want another one. What is the probability that the 2nd one you choose will be raspberry?
Ans: 8/54 = 4/27= .1481 = 15%
correct,
good job.
Thanks. Can you check the one from yesterday as well?
I checked back to your question from yesterday, and they are both correct as well.
Thanks
To solve problem #4, you need to find the probability of choosing a raspberry jolly rancher. First, you need to find the total number of jolly ranchers in the bag, which is the sum of all the individual flavors: 10 cherry + 15 watermelon + 12 grape + 10 apple + 8 raspberry = 55 jolly ranchers in total.
Next, you need to find the number of raspberry jolly ranchers in the bag, which is given as 8. Finally, divide the number of raspberry jolly ranchers by the total number of jolly ranchers to get the probability: 8/55 ≈ 0.1454, or approximately 15%.
To solve problem #5, you need to find the probability of choosing either a watermelon or an apple jolly rancher. First, find the number of watermelon jolly ranchers, which is given as 15. Next, find the number of apple jolly ranchers, which is given as 10. Add these two numbers together to get 15 + 10 = 25 jolly ranchers.
Finally, divide the number of watermelon and apple jolly ranchers by the total number of jolly ranchers to get the probability: 25/55 ≈ 0.4545, or approximately 45%.
To solve problem #6, you need to find the probability of choosing a raspberry jolly rancher as the second one, given that you already chose a grape jolly rancher as the first one. After choosing and eating the grape jolly rancher, you are left with 54 jolly ranchers in the bag.
Since you have already taken out one grape jolly rancher, you need to find the number of raspberry jolly ranchers remaining, which is given as 8. Finally, divide the number of raspberry jolly ranchers by the remaining number of jolly ranchers to get the probability: 8/54 ≈ 0.1481, or approximately 15%.
