At noon, Manny's Café had 12 banana muffins, 10 chocolate muffins, 6 blueberry muffins, and 7 vanilla muffins. What is the probability that the next muffin sold is a vanilla muffin? How likely is this event?

Respuesta :

Answer:

12 banana muffins, 10 chocolate muffins, 6 blueberry muffins, and 7 vanilla muffins.

The total number of muffins is 35 muffins

P(vanilla) = number of vanilla/ total

              = 7/35

              = 1/5

This is not likely to occur so it is an unlikely event

The probability that the next muffin sold is a vanilla muffin is 1/5.

Probability

Probability is defined as the ratio sum of the observation and number of observations.

Given information

At noon, Manny's Café had 12 banana muffins, 10 chocolate muffins, 6 blueberry muffins, and 7 vanilla muffins.

The formula is used to calculate the probability that the next muffin sold is a vanilla muffin is;

[tex]\rm Probability = \dfrac{Number \ of \ vaanila \ muffins}{Sum \ of \ all \ muffins }[/tex]

Total number of muffins = 12 + 10 + 6 + 7 = 35

Substitute all the values in the formula;

[tex]\rm Probability = \dfrac{Number \ of \ vaanila \ muffins}{Sum \ of \ all \ muffins }\\\\\rm Probability = \dfrac{7}{35}\\\\\rm Probability = \dfrac{1}{5}[/tex]

Hence, the probability that the next muffin sold is a vanilla muffin is 1/5.
