Question

As part of their opening day celebration, Ortega's Bakery made 150 cupcakes. The cupcakes all looked
identical on the outside but 6 of them had caramel inside Customers who bought a cupcake with
caramel inside won a free cake The cupcakes were randomly arranged and customers were allowed to
choose their own cupcakes. Deepu was the first customer in fine and bought three cupcakes. What is the
probability that exactly one of Deepu's cupcakes had caramel inside?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let S be the sample space

There are 150 cupcakes

n(S) = 150

Now,

Number of cupcakes in which caramel was filled = 6

Let A be the condition that the the cupcake bought by Deepu contains caramel

Number of cupcakes Deepu bought = 3

Therefore,

n(A) = 3

The probability that the cupcakes bought by Deepu contained caramel ;

P (A) = n (A) / n(S)

P (A) = 3 / 150

P (A) = 1  / 50

Hope you liked the explanation :)
