Answer:

4

there is only 4 golden wrapped candies

Answer:

B. 5 students

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 12 different candies to pick from, only 4 of which are gold. To find the chances of getting gold you divide 4 gold by the total of 12. This gives you a 1/3 chance of getting gold.

Since the chances are the same each time, you should expect 1/3 of the students to pick gold. So, divide 15 by 3(or multiply 15 by 1/3, same thing), to get 5 students.
