Question

A tray of cake samples contains a variety of flavors.

vanilla 25
strawberry 1
lemon 2
red velvet 3
chocolate 2

What is the probability that a randomly selected piece of cake will be red velvet?

Write your answer as a fraction or whole number.

Answer 1

Answer:  1/11

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that the selected piece will be red velvet is equal to the amount of red velvet cake divided by the total amount of cake.

Therefore, it would be 3/(25+1+2+3+2)

= 3/33

= 1/11 when simplified
