In a sample of 100 colored candies, there are 21 red candies, 22 blue candies, 19 yellow candies, and 38 brown candies. a. estimate the probability that when a candy is randomly selected, it is one that is blue. b. the maker of the candy claims that 24% of its candies are blue. does the estimate from part (a) roughly agree with this claim, or does there appear to be substantial disagreement?

a. Total number of candies = 100

Red = 21, Blue= 22, Yellow= 19 and Brown= 38

Let, A is the event of selecting Blue candy

So, n(A) = 22

Total possible outcome, n(S)= 100

So, P(A) =

P(A) =

P(A) = 0.22 = 22%

So, the probability of selecting one candy which is blue = 22%

b. As the maker of the candy claims that 24% of its candies are blue and 22% is close to 24%, so the estimate in part(a) roughly agree with the claim.

gregory's graph is incorrect because it shows 2 inches of growth for each week when it should show 0.75 inches of growth each week.
