I have a bag of trail mix half of the back of things peanuts 1/4 of the bag is chocolate candies and 1/4 of the bag is drive-through what is is the probability that I will select a peanut
To find the probability of selecting a peanut from the trail mix bag, we need to consider the total number of items in the bag.
Since half of the bag is peanuts, we can represent this as 1/2. The chocolate candies make up 1/4 of the bag and the dried fruit makes up 1/4 of the bag as well.
Therefore, the total probability of selecting a peanut from the bag is:
P(peanut) = Number of peanuts / Total number of items in the bag
P(peanut) = 1/2
Therefore, the probability of selecting a peanut from the trail mix bag is 1/2 or 50%.
