Answer:
32/139
Explanation:
The bag contains 42 red, 45 green, 20 yellow, and 32 purple candies.
First, determine the total number of candies in the bag.
[tex]\text{Total}=42+45+20+32=139[/tex]If one candy is selected at random, the probability that it is purple:
[tex]\begin{gathered} P(\text{Purple)}=\frac{\text{Number of Purple Candies}}{\text{Total Number of Candies in the bag}} \\ =\frac{32}{139} \end{gathered}[/tex]The probability is 32/139.
