Bot Ava has a bag of candies with six different flavors. She chooses one candy at random. It is unlikely that she will choose a watermelon candy. It is unlikely that she will choose a cherry candy. It is more likely that she will choose a watermelon candy than a cherry candy. P(watermelon) represents the probability that Ava will choose a watermelon candy. P(cherry) represents the probability that Ava will choose a cherry candy. What are possible values of P(watermelon) and P(cherry)? P(watermelon) = blank. P(cherry) = blank.
Since we know that it is unlikely for Ava to choose a watermelon candy and also unlikely for her to choose a cherry candy, we can conclude that the probabilities of both events are less than 0.5. Additionally, since it is more likely for Ava to choose a watermelon candy than a cherry candy, the probability of choosing a watermelon candy must be greater than the probability of choosing a cherry candy.
Thus, possible values for P(watermelon) and P(cherry) could be:
P(watermelon) = 0.4, P(cherry) = 0.3
P(watermelon) = 0.6, P(cherry) = 0.2
P(watermelon) = 0.7, P(cherry) = 0.4
These are just a few examples, and there can be other valid combinations of probabilities given the information provided.
