Question

A bag contains $16$ candies out of which $x$ are orange flavoured.

If one candy is drawn at random, what is the probability that it will be orange flavoured ?

• A. $\frac{x}{8}$
• B. $\frac{x}{6}$
• C. $\frac{x}{5}$
• D. $\frac{x}{16}$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $\frac{x}{16}$

Total number of possible outcomes $=16$

Favorable outcomes $=x$ i.e orange flavored.

$P\left(A\right)=\frac{Numberoffavorableoutcomes}{TotalNumberofpossibleoutcomes}$

$\therefore P\left(A\right)=\frac{x}{16}$

Hence, option $D$ is correct.
