Answer: a. 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of events is 7 because there are 7 mints.

The number of possible outcomes is 35 since there are 12 caramels, 7 mints and 16 dark chocolates. Add them, 12 + 7 + 16 = 35.

Solution:

Substitute the value.

Probability

= number of events to happen / total number of possible outcomes

= 7⁄35‌ or ⅕
