Probability worksheet with a candy jar illustration and related math questions for students.

To solve these probability questions, we first need to count how many candies of each color are in the jar.

Step 1: Count the candies by color
Let's look at the jar and count them carefully:
* Orange candies: There are 6 orange candies.
* Yellow candies: There are 4 yellow candies.
* Blue candies: There are 7 blue candies.
* Green candies: There are 3 green candies.

Step 2: Find the total number of candies
Add all the counts together to get the total:
$$6 + 4 + 7 + 3 = 20$$
There are 20 candies in total.

Now we can answer the questions using fractions (Part / Total).

1. What is the probability of picking an orange candy?
* Orange count: 6
* Total: 20
* Probability: $\frac{6}{20}$ (This simplifies to $\frac{3}{10}$)

2. What is the probability of picking a yellow candy?
* Yellow count: 4
* Total: 20
* Probability: $\frac{4}{20}$ (This simplifies to $\frac{1}{5}$)

3. What is the probability of picking a blue candy?
* Blue count: 7
* Total: 20
* Probability: $\frac{7}{20}$

4. What is the probability of picking a green candy?
* Green count: 3
* Total: 20
* Probability: $\frac{3}{20}$

5. Which candy is least likely to be picked at random?
* The "least likely" candy is the one with the smallest number.
* Comparing the counts: 6, 4, 7, and 3.
* 3 is the smallest number, which corresponds to the green candy.

6. What is the probability of picking either a yellow candy or a green candy?
* Add the yellow count and the green count: $4 + 3 = 7$.
* Total: 20
* Probability: $\frac{7}{20}$

7. What is the probability of picking either an orange candy or a blue candy?
* Add the orange count and the blue count: $6 + 7 = 13$.
* Total: 20
* Probability: $\frac{13}{20}$

8. Would it be more likely to pick an orange candy or yellow candy?
* Compare the counts: Orange has 6, Yellow has 4.
* Since 6 is greater than 4, it is more likely to pick orange.

Final Answer:
1. 6/20 (or 3/10)
2. 4/20 (or 1/5)
3. 7/20
4. 3/20
5. Green
6. 7/20
7. 13/20
8. Orange
