Question

a bag of trail mix contains 22 peanuts, 14 almonds, and 9 chocolate chips. find the theoretical probability of pulling out an almond. p(a)=? round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total number of items

Total items = \(22 + 14+9=45\)

Step2: Calculate probability of pulling almond

Probability formula \(P(A)=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}\). Number of almonds \(= 14\), so \(P(A)=\frac{14}{45}\approx0.31\)

Answer:

\(0.31\)
