Question

A basket has 5 apples, 10 oranges and 5 bananas find the probability of getting out an apple

Answer 1

$\huge{\mathcal{\green{Answer}}}$

Number of apples=5

Sum of all fruits =5+10+5=20

The probability of getting an apples is

$\large{=5/20}$

$\large{=1/4}$

$\huge{\mathcal{\orange{\boxed{0.25}}}}$

Answer 2

Given : A basket has 5 apples, 10 oranges and 5 bananas.

To find : The probability of getting out an apple.

Solution :

We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process. (our goal is to calculate the required probability)

Here,

Total number fruits :

= Total number of apples + Total number of oranges + Total number of bananas

= 5+10+5

= 20

And, total number of apples = 5

In this case,

• Number of favourable outcomes = Total number of apples = 5
• Total number of possible outcomes = Total number of fruits = 20

So, the probability of getting out an apple :

= Number of favourable outcomes ÷ Total number of possible outcomes

= Total number of apples ÷ Total number of fruits

= 5 ÷ 20

= ¼

(This will be considered as the final result.)

Hence, the probability of getting out an apple is ¼
