Question

1 multiple choice 4 points marilyn selects a piece of candy at random from a jar that contains four peppermint, five cherry, three butterscotch, and two lemon candies. what is the probability that the candy she selects is not a cherry candy? 0 14/14 9/14 5/14 2 multiple choice 4 points anton has a spinner that is divided into 5 congruent sections, as shown below. anton will spin the arrow on the spinner. what is the probability that the arrow will stop on a section labeled with a number greater than 2? 1/3 2/3 3/5

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total number of candies

$4 + 5+3 + 2=14$

Step2: Calculate number of non - cherry candies

$4+3 + 2=9$

Step3: Calculate probability of non - cherry candy

$P=\frac{9}{14}$

Step4: For spinner problem, count sections greater than 2

There are 3 sections (3, 4, 5) labeled with numbers greater than 2 out of 5 total sections.

Step5: Calculate probability for spinner

$P=\frac{3}{5}$

Answer:

1. $\frac{9}{14}$
2. $\frac{3}{5}$
