Question

A box contains 6 red apples and 14 green apples,what is the probability of getting a green apple randomly​

Answer 1

Answer:

14/20 . is the probability of getting a green apple.

Answer 2

The probability of getting a green apple randomly = 7/10

Given :

A box contains 6 red apples and 14 green apples

To find :

The probability of getting a green apple randomly

Solution :

Step 1 of 3 :

Find total number of possible outcomes

Here it is given that the box contains 6 red apples and 14 green apples

Total number of apples = 6 + 14 = 20

So total number of possible outcomes = 20

Step 2 of 3 :

Find total number of possible outcomes for the event

Let A be the event that of getting a green apple randomly

Since the box contains 14 green apples

So total number of possible outcomes for the event A is 14

Step 3 of 3 :

Find the probability

Hence the required probability

= P(A)

$\displaystyle \sf{ = \frac{Number \: of \: favourable \: cases \: to \: the \: event \: A }{Total \: number \: of \: possible \: outcomes }}$

$\displaystyle \sf{ = \frac{14}{20} }$

$\displaystyle \sf{ = \frac{7}{10} }$
