Question

1. a bag contains 10 pieces of flavored candy: 4 lemon, 3 strawberry, 2 grape, and 1 cherry. one piece of candy will be randomly picked from the bag. what is the probability the candy picked is not grape flavored? a. \\(\frac{1}{5}\\) b. \\(\frac{1}{4}\\) c. \\(\frac{1}{2}\\) d. \\(\frac{3}{4}\\) e. \\(\frac{4}{5}\\) \\(\bigcirc\\) a \\(\bigcirc\\) b \\(\bigcirc\\) c \\(\bigcirc\\) d \\(\bigcirc\\) e

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total candies

Total candies = $4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 10$

Step2: Find non-grape candy count

Non-grape candies = $10 - 2 = 8$

Step3: Compute desired probability

Probability = $\frac{\text{Non-grape candies}}{\text{Total candies}} = \frac{8}{10} = \frac{4}{5}$

Answer:

E. $\frac{4}{5}$
