Answer :
The probability of picking an orange or a cherry flavored candy from the bag is [tex]\frac{8}{15}[/tex].
Given that, total number of candies=15, banana flavoured candies=4, strawberry flavoured candies=3, cherry flavoured candies=6 and orange flavoured candies=2.
We need to find out what would be the probability of picking an orange or a cherry-flavoured candy from the bag.
What is a probability formula?
According to the probability formula, the likelihood that an event will occur is equal to the proportion of favourable outcomes to all outcomes.
The probability of an event[tex]=\frac{Number of favourable outcomes}{Total Number of outcomes}[/tex].
Now, the probability of picking an orange flavored candy from the bag [tex]=\frac{2}{15}[/tex]
The probability of picking a cherry flavored candy from the bag [tex]=\frac{6}{15}[/tex]
The probability of picking an orange or a cherry flavored candy from the bag [tex]=\frac{2}{15}+\frac{6}{15}=\frac{8}{15}[/tex].
Therefore, the probability of picking an orange or a cherry flavored candy from the bag is [tex]\frac{8}{15}[/tex].
