Find the probability. a bag of sweets contains 20 gummy bears and 35 orange slices. one sweet is taken at random from the bag. find p(gummy bear).

P(gummy bear) =

Explanation:

Probability of a certain outcome can be calculated as follows:

In the given problem we have:

20 gummy bears and 35 orange slices

We want to find P(gummy bear)

This means that:

number of occurrences of desired outcome = number of gummy bears = 20

Total number of possible outcomes = gummy bears + orange slices

Total number of possible outcomes = 20 + 35 = 55

Substitute with the givens in the above formula, we get:
