Question

A cookie jar contains several cookies

12 chocolate chip cookies

8 peanut butter cookies

4 sugar cookies

Jace randomly selected a cookie from the jar.

What is the probability in decimal form that the cookie Jace selected was a chocolate chip cookie?

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The total number of cookies in the jar is 12 + 8 + 4 = 24.

The probability of selecting a chocolate chip cookie is the number of chocolate chip cookies divided by the total number of cookies.

Probability = 12/24 = 0.5

Therefore, the probability in decimal form that the cookie Jace selected was a chocolate chip cookie is 0.5.
