Raymond has two bags of candy. • Bag A has 15 total pieces of candy, 9 are chocolate candies. Bag B has 10 total pieces of candy, 5 are chocolate candies. Which statement is true?

Sagot :

Answer:

The probability of selection of chocolate candy from bag A is ( 10%) bigger than from the bag B

Step-by-step explanation:

From bag A the probability (p₁ ) of selection  ( in a random sample) of one chocolate candy is

p₁ = 9/15       p₁  = 0,6

From bag B the probability ( p₂ ) of selection ( in a random sample) of one chocolate candy is:

p₂ = 5/10       p₂ = 0,5

Then the probability of selection of chocolate candy from bag A is bigger than from the bag B

p₁ > p₂      p₁ - p₂  = 0,6 - 0,5       p₁ - p₂ = 0,1    p₁ - p₂ = 10%
