Q:

In a box of favourites; there are three chocolates; flakes, dairy milk, and boost. When a chocolate is chosen at random, the chance of choosing a flake was 45%, and the chance of choosing dairy milk was 30%. List the probability of each outcome to occur , presenting your answers as fractions,

Accepted Solution

A:
flakes = 45% dairy milk = 30% boost = 100 - 45 - 30 = 25% the probability of each outcome to occur, flakes = 45% = 45/100 = 9/20 dairy milk = 30% = 30/100 = 3/10 boost = 25% = 25/100 = 1/4 thus, flakes = 9/20 dairy milk = 3/10 boost = 1/4
