Heya!

♦Probability ♦
==========================================================

♦Probability of an Event £ is given by =>

P ( £ ) = Favourable Outcomes / Total Outcomes


( 1 ) . P ( Orange Flavoured Candy )


= > 0

◾This is because the box has no Orange Flavoured Candy . Hence the Probability is 0 . This is an Impossible Event .



( 2 ) P ( A Lemon Flavoured Candy )


=> 1

◾As the Box contains only Lemon Flavoured Candy , the Probability is 1 . This is a Sure Event .

Answer 2

To Find:

• The probability that she takes out an orange flavored candy.
• The probability when she takes out a lemon flavored candy.

Solution for your 1st question:

According to the question,

We know that the bag only contains lemon-flavoured candies.

So, The no. of orange flavoured candies = 0

∴ The probability of taking out orange flavoured candies = $\frac{1}{2} =0$

Solution for your 2nd question:

As there are only lemon flavoured candies, P(lemon flavoured candies) = 1 or (100%)

Therefore, probability of taking out orange flavoured candy is 0 and taking out lemon flavoured candy is 1
