​

Answer 1

Answer:

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

probability of getting blueberry muffins = number of outcomes of blueberry muffin/total no of outcomes

i.e 2/6= 1/3

Answer 2

Given - Chocolate muffins: 1

Blueberry muffins: 2

Lemon muffins: 3

Find - Chances of picking blueberry muffins from given type of muffins.

Solution - The probability of picking blueberry muffin from available options can be calculated by formula- number of events/number of possible outcomes.

Number of events: 2

Number of possible outcomes: 1+2+3 = 6

Keeping the values in formula-

Probability = 2/6

Probability = 1/3

Hence, chances of picking blueberry muffin by Filip is 1/3.
