Question

A bowl contains candies of the same size in three flavors: orange, strawberry, and pineapple. If the probability of randomly pulling out an orange candy is 1 over 9, and the probability of randomly pulling out a strawberry candy is 3 over 9, what is the probability of randomly pulling out a pineapple candy?

2/9
3/9
4/9
5/9

Answer 1

\(\dfrac{1}{9}+\dfrac{3}{9}\)

Answer 2

\(=\dfrac{4}{9}\\ \dfrac{9}{9}-\dfrac{4}{9}=answer\)

Answer 12

Jenny has some tiles in a bag. The tiles are of three different colors: purple, pink, and orange. Jenny randomly pulls a tile out of the bag, records the color, and replaces the tile in the bag. She does this 50 times. The results are recorded in the given table:
color of tiles: purple,pink, orange.
number of times tile is drawn: 4, 24, 22.
What is the experimental probability that Jenny will pull out a pink tile?

Answer 13

do you have answer choices?

Answer 14

22/50
22/28
24/50
4/50

Answer 15

is it C??

Answer 16

from your table it says that pink was drawn 24 times from 50
so
\(\dfrac{24}{50}\)
experimental probability means the probability of something occurring from what was conducted
so all you needed to do was look at the table

Answer 17

ok?

Answer 18

so its C?

Answer 19

yea

Answer 20

thanks again!
