The probability of getting a red piece will be 0.4575.
What is probability?
Its basic premise is that something will almost certainly happen. The percentage of favorable events to the total number of occurrences.
A box contains 36 red, 22 yellow, and 19 purple candies.
Then the total number of the candies in a box will be
Total candies = 36 + 22 + 19
Total candies = 77
If you pick one piece of candy from the bag at random.
Then the probability of getting a red piece will be
The total number of the event will be
Total event = ⁷⁷C₁
Total event = 77
The number of the favorable event will be
Favorable event = ³⁶C₁
Favorable event = 36
Then the probability of getting a red piece will be
P = 36 / 77
P = 0.4675
Thus, the probability of getting a red piece will be 0.4575.
