Question

Melissa counted the boxes of cereal in a grocery store with different sizes and numbers of prizes. Mini size Regular size One prize 2 5 Two prizes 3 6 What is the probability that a randomly selected box of cereal contains two prizes or is mini size? Simplify any fractions.

Answer 1

Answer:

P = 11/16

Explanation:

To know the probability, we need to know the total number of events and the number of events that satisfy our condition.

So, in this case, there are 16 boxes of cereal because:

2 + 3 + 5 + 6 = 16

And there are 11 boxes of cereal that contain two prizes or are mini size.

Because 2 + 3 + 6 = 11

Therefore, the probability is equal to:

P = 11/16
