a bag contains 30 pieces of candy. there are 15 grape, 7 cherry, 3 lemon, 5 strawberry. what is the probability of drawing a lemon?
Answer
Answer:
C. $\frac{1}{10}$
Explanation:
Step1: Recall probability formula
$P(A)=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$
Step2: Identify values
Number of lemon - flavored candies (favorable outcomes) = 3, total number of candies = 30.
Step3: Calculate probability
$P(\text{lemon})=\frac{3}{30}=\frac{1}{10}$
