Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The probability of getting a bag with 35 peanuts is 0.09, which is not the lowest probability but is relatively low compared to other probabilities, especially 0.35 for 45 peanuts. However, in the context of probabilities, a 9% chance (0.09) is considered a significant likelihood, not negligible, indicating a high likelihood relative to the context of random selection from this distribution.
