Outcomes {S}
There is
recitation
activity on your
history class.
Suppose you
have 10
students coded
as B1, B2, B3,

V. PROBLEM SOLVING
Your jar contains 5 chocolate lollipops, 5 orange lollipops, and 7 mint lollipops. If one
lollipop is picked randomly from the jar, find the probability of getting the following:
23. chocolate lollipop
24. mint lollipop
25. mint or chocolate lollipop
There are pink, orange, and white pingpong balls in a jar. There are 6 pink pingpong balls.
The probability of getting a pink pingpong ball is 22.22% while the probability of getting a
white pingpong ball is 40.74%.
