A computer program selects purple, pink or orange as the background color each time the program is used.
The program was used 30 times on the same computer in one week.
Of those 30 times, a purple background appeared 12 times and a pink background appeared 10 times.
Based on this information, which statement about the likelihood of the orange background appearing the next time the program is used is true?
Based on the information provided, since the program has been used 30 times in total, the orange background must have appeared 30 - 12 - 10 = 8 times. Therefore, the likelihood of the orange background appearing the next time the program is used is higher than that of purple but lower than that of pink.
A Orange is just as likely to appear as purple but not as likely as pink. Orange is just as likely to appear as purple but not as likely as pink.

B Orange is not as likely to appear as purple and pink. Orange is not as likely to appear as purple and pink.

C Orange is not as likely to appear as purple but is as likely as pink. Orange is not as likely to appear as purple but is as likely as pink.
