Answer:
P(E) = 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
Red candies = 5
Purple candies = 7
Green candies = 3
We need to find the probability that a candy picked at random is green.
The probability of getting an event is given by :
P(E) = favorable outcomes/total no of outcomes
Probability of getting a green candy,
P(E) = 5/(5+7+3)
P(E) = 5/15
P(E) = 1/3
Hence, the required probability is (1/3).
