A jar of 50 sour ball candies contains only 3 flavors. If there are 18 orange, 12 lemon, and 20 cherry sour balls, what is the probability that a randomly selected sour ball will be lemon or cherry?
Answer Answered by chisnau Option B. 12/ 125 is the answer. Explanation Total umber of sour ball candies = 50 Number of lemon candies = 12 Hence the probability to get a lemon candy is = 12/50 Number of cherry sour balls = 20 So, the probability to get a cherry sour ball = 20/50 So, to get the joint probability for a random selection to either get a lemon or cherry candy, we will multiply both the probabilities.
