Respuesta :
There is an equal likely to pull out a strawberry candy and a pineapple candy because there is a 3 over 8 likely to pull out a pineapple candy.
Answer:
The probability of randomly pulling out a pineapple candy is fraction 3 over 8.
Step-by-step explanation:
A bowl contains only three flavors of candies: orange, strawberry and pineapple. Then, the sum of probabilities of pulling out any flavor of the candies need to be one, this can be write as:
[tex]\frac{2}{8} +\frac{3}{8} + X = 1[/tex]
Where the fraction 2 over 8 is the probability of randomly pulling out an orange candy, the fraction 3 over 8 is the probability of randomly pulling out a strawberry candy and X is the probability of randomly pulling out a pineapple candy.
Solving for X, we get:
[tex]X=1-\frac{2}{8} -\frac{3}{8}[/tex]
[tex]X=\frac{3}{8}[/tex]
Finally, the probability of randomly pulling out a pineapple candy is fraction 3 over 8.
