Question

A box contains 5 strawberry chocolates, 6 coffee chocolates, and 2 peppermint chocolates. If one of the chocolates is picked from the box at random, find the probability of the following events by completing the activity.

Event A: it is coffee chocolate.

Activity: Let ‘S’ be the sample space.

∴ n(S) = 5 + 6 + 2 = 13

Event A: it is a coffee chocolate.

∴ n(A) = `square`

∴ P(A) = `square/("n"("S"))`     .......[Formula]

P (A) = `square/13`

Answer 1

Let ‘S’ be the sample space.

∴ n(S) = 5 + 6 + 2 = 13

Event A: it is a coffee chocolate.

∴ n(A) = 6

∴ P(A) = `("n"("A"))/("n"("S"))`     .......[Formula]

P (A) = `6/13`
