The probability that Kim will choose a cherry candle is [tex]\frac{2}{9}[/tex] OR 0.22
From the question,
We are to determine the probability that Kim will choose a cherry candle out of the possible candles
From the given information
Number of vanilla candles = 8
Number of cherry candles = 4
Number pf raspberry candles = 6
∴ Total number of candles = 8 + 4 + 6 = 18
Using the formula
[tex]Probability = \frac{Number\ of\ favorable\ outcomes}{Total\ number\ of\ outcomes}[/tex]
For the probability to choose cherry candle
Number of favorable outcome = 4
Total number number of outcomes = 18
∴ Probability of choosing cherry candle = [tex]\frac{4}{18}[/tex]
Probability of choosing cherry candle = [tex]\frac{2}{9}[/tex] OR 0.22
Hence, the probability that Kim will choose a cherry candle is [tex]\frac{2}{9}[/tex] OR 0.22
