Jean bought a bag of candy that contained red candies, green candies, and brown candies. Some candies are marked with a smile and others are not marked. The probabilities are displayed in the table below:

| Red |Green |Brown
Smile |0.100 | .300 | .10
No smile |0.200 | .150 | .15

If a random candy is chosen from this bag, what is the probability that the candy was red or had no smile?

Respuesta :

                   | Red    |Green  | Brown   Total
Smile         |0.100  | .300    | .10           0.50
No smile   |0.200  | .150    | .15            0.50
Total           0.30       0.45      0.25         1.00

The probability of choosing red candy is 0.10
The probability of choosing no smile candy is 0.50

The probability of choosing red or no smile = 0.10 + 0.50 = 0.60

I did not use 0.30 as the probability of red because it included the no smile candy. It should only be red candy that has a smile.

The probability of choosing red or no smile will be 0.60.

What is probability?

Probability is defined as the ratio of the number of favourable outcomes to the total number of outcomes in other words the probability is the number that shows the happening of the event.

The probability will be calculated as:-

                  | Red    |  Green  | Brown   Total

Smile          | 0.100  |  . 300     | .10           0.50

No smile    | 0.200  |   150      | .15            0.50

Total           0.30       0.45      0.25         1.00

The probability of choosing red candy is 0.10

The probability of choosing no smile candy is 0.50

The probability of choosing red or no smile = 0.10 + 0.50 = 0.60
