Question 5 A bag has 3 candies: strawberry, lemon, and mint. One is picked at random. What is the probability of picking a strawberry candy? Now, Number of strawberry candy = 1 Total candies = 3 Thus, Probability of picking strawberry candy = (𝑁𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑠𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑏𝑒𝑟𝑟𝑦 𝑐𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑖𝑒𝑠)/(𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑐𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑖𝑒𝑠) = 𝟏/𝟑
