Answer 1

Answer:

29/40

Step-by-step explanation:

A basket contains 14 white eggs, 15 brown eggs, and 11 lemons. The exact probability that Taylor picks an egg from the basket is;

(14+15)/(14+15+11) = 29/40

Answer 2

Answer:

The exact probability that Taylor picks an egg from the basket is 0.725

Step-by-step explanation:

A basket contains 14 white eggs, 15 brown eggs and 11 lemons.

Total number of items in the basket $=14+15+11= 40$

Total number of eggs in the basket $=14+15= 29$

Taylor picks one item at random from the basket.

So, the probability that Taylor picks an egg $=\frac{total\ number\ of\ eggs}{total\ number\ of\ items}=\frac{29}{40}=0.725$
