A jar contains 4 cherry cough drops and 10 honey cough drops. You choose one cough drop without looking. The cough drop is cherry. What is the probability?

Prob. Of choosing cherry : 2/7 Prob. Of choosing honey: 5/7 (You basically just have to add the total number of cough drops and use it as the denominator and add the number of cough drops of each type to the numerator and simplify each fraction to find the prob of each.)

The probability of getting cherry cough drops is [tex]\frac{2}{7}[/tex].

What is probability?

It is a measure of happening or non-happening of the outcomes of a random experiment.

According to the question.

Total number of cherry cough drops = 4

Total number of honey cough drops = 10

⇒ Total number of cough drops = 10 + 4 = 14

Therefore,

The probability of getting cherry cough drop

= total number of cherry cough drop/total numbers of cough drops

[tex]= \frac{4}{14}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{2}{7}[/tex]

Hence, the probability of getting cherry cough drops is [tex]\frac{2}{7}[/tex].
