Answer to Problem 12PG

  $P(peanutbuttercups)=0.533$

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Number of lollipops 3

Number of peanut butter cups 8

Number of chocolate bars 4

Formula used:

  $P(a)=\frac{NumberOfFavorableOutcomes}{TotalOutcomes}$

Calculation:

Total number of items,

  $3+8+4$

On solving,

  $15$

Total number peanut butter cups,

8

On solving,

  $11$
