Cupcake Probability Challenge

Very Hard Problem Solving And Data Analysis Probability And Statistics

A local bakery sells three types of cupcakes: chocolate, vanilla, and red velvet. Each type has a different probability of being chosen by a customer. The probabilities are as follows:

  • Chocolate: $\frac{1}{3}$
  • Vanilla: $\frac{1}{2}$
  • Red Velvet: $\frac{1}{6}$

Given that a customer has purchased a cupcake, what is the probability that the cupcake is either a chocolate or a red velvet cupcake? Round your answer to two decimal places (if necessary), and express it in decimal form.
