Question

a candy is randomly drawn from a box with 6 chocolates, 13 candy canes, and 11 lollipops. event a: chocolate event b: lollipop p(a or b) = ? hint: p(a or b) = p(a) + p(b) round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total candies

Total = 6 + 13 + 11 = 30

Step2: Find P(A)

P(A) = $\frac{6}{30}$ = 0.2

Step3: Find P(B)

P(B) = $\frac{11}{30}$ ≈ 0.3667

Step4: Compute P(A or B)

P(A or B) = 0.2 + 0.3667 ≈ 0.5667 ≈ 0.57

Answer:

0.57
