When calculating probability, we are comparing the number of favorable outcomes to the number of possible outcomes. To calculate the probability that a randomly chosen nut is a cashew we will use the Probability Formula.
P=Favorable Outcomes/Possible OutcomesIn the jar, there is a total of 150 peanuts and 60 cashews. The sum of these values is the number of possible outcomes.
150+60= 210 nuts
Out of these, 60 are cashews, which is the number of favorable outcomes. Now we have enough information to calculate P(Cashew).
