Question

a bakery recorded how many muffins it recently sold. type of muffin: blueberry (16), chocolate chip (21), cinnamon (13), banana nut (8). based on this data, what is the probability that the next muffin sold will be a cinnamon muffin? options: \\(\frac{1}{13}\\), \\(\frac{13}{100}\\), \\(\frac{13}{58}\\), \\(\frac{13}{45}\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total muffins sold

Sum the number of each type: \(16 + 21 + 13 + 8 = 58\)

Step2: Find probability for cinnamon

Probability = (Cinnamon muffins sold) / (Total muffins sold) = \(\frac{13}{58}\)

Answer:

\(\frac{13}{58}\) (corresponding to the option \(\frac{13}{58}\))
