Question
A bag contains lemon flavoured candies only. Malini takes out one candy without looking into the bag. What is the probability that she takes out a lemon flavoured candy?
Solution
As the bag has lemon-flavoured candies, Malini will take out only lemon-flavoured candies. Therefore, the event that Malini will take out a lemon-flavoured candy is a sure thing. P (a lemon-flavoured candy) = 1
