Total lollipops in the bag = 4+3+1= 8 White lollipops = 3 So the probability = (number of white lollipops)/(total number of lollipops) probability = 3/8

A particular employee arrives at work sometime between 8:00 a.m. and 8:50 a.m. Based on past experience the company has determined that the employee is equally likely to arrive at any time between 8:00 a.m. and 8:50 a.m. Find the probability that the employee will arrive between 8:05 a.m. and 8:40 a.m. Round your answer to four decimal places, if necessary.
