a. 1/50

b. 1/10

c. 1/5

d. 3/10

e. 7/10

Answer: D

Solution:

There are 100 items in the bag, including 10 chocolate candies and 20 banana chips. We add the probabilities of the individual items to obtain the probability of picking either a chocolate candy (C) or a banana chip (B).

P(C or B) = 10/100 + 20/100 = 30/100 = 3/10

Answer: D
