Answer:
9 red candies have peanuts.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Total number of candies in the bag=20 candies,
Number of red candies = 12
Number of candies with peanut = 15
To Find:
The number of red candies with peanut=?
Solution:
Since the picking a red candy and picking a candy with peanuts are independent
p(candies with Peanuts | red candies)=P(candies with Peanuts)
Hence
P(candies with Peanuts)=[tex]\frac{15}{20}[/tex]
P(candies with Peanuts)=0.75
We Have 12 red candies, so
Number of red candies with peanuts=P(candies with Peanuts) x number of red candies
Number of red candies with peanuts=0.75 x 12
Number of red candies with peanuts= 9
