The probability of choosing either  a raspberry or a strawberry sweet is 17/60.

Probability of choosing either  a raspberry or a strawberry sweet

  • Let the probability of choosing a strawberry sweet P(s) = 1/5
  • Let the probability of choosing a cola sweet and a raspberry = 1/12

P(s) ∩ P(c) = P(s) x P(c) =  1/12

where;

  • P(s) is the probability of choosing a strawberry sweet
  • P(c) is the probability of choosing a cola sweet

1/12 = P(s) x P(c)

1/12 = 1/5 x P(c)

P(c) = 5/12

P(s) ∪ P(c) = 1/5 + 5/12 = 17/60

Thus, the probability of choosing either  a raspberry or a strawberry sweet is 17/60.
