A bag contains a mixture of almonds, walnuts, and cashews. There is an equal quantity of each nut. If a nut is chosen randomly out of the bag, what is the probability that the nut is either an almond, a walnut, or a cashew? Round answer to the nearest thousandth. A.0.333 B.0.667 C.0.750 D.1
The required probability is the sum of the probabilities of each possible outcome, the reason being that the outcomes are mutually exclusive.
P (one of 3 types) = 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 = 1
D is the answer
D. 1
