5.
A bag contains three types of candy (gumdrops, jelly beans, and jawbreakers). If
chosen at random, the probability of getting a gumdrop is 1/6 and the probability
of getting a jellybean is 1/3 What is the probability of getting a jawbreaker?

Respuesta :

Answer:

P) = 1/2 jawbreaker

simplified P) 3/6 = 1/2 jawbreaker

Which both mean the same, so show simplified if asked and either answer if not asked would be marked high.

as 2/6 + 1/3 = 3/6

1 - 3/6 = 3/6

= 1/2    are the workings.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jelly bean = 1/3 = 2/6

Gumdrop = 1/6

2/6 + 1/6 = 3/6 = the difference of 1

1-3/6 = 3/6

Therefore; P) = 3/6 jawbreaker
