Answer :

Answer:

P(E) = 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Red candies = 5

Purple candies = 7

Green candies = 3

We need to find the probability that a candy picked  at random is green.

The probability of getting an event is given by :

P(E) = favorable outcomes/total no of outcomes

Probability of getting a green candy,

P(E) = 5/(5+7+3)

P(E) = 5/15

P(E) = 1/3

Hence, the required probability is (1/3).
