Question

a jar contains 3 mangoes and x gauvas.Two fruits are pulled out from jar.An expression that represent in the peobability that one fruit is mango another is gauva

Answer 1

Given:

A jar contains 3 mangoes and x guavas

To find:

The probability that one fruit is mango another is guava.

Solution:

1) Probability[E]=Number of the favorable outcome / total number of outcomes.

means the possibility of any event to happen.

2) Now finding the probability:

• Number of mangoes is 3

• Number of Guavas is x

• Total items x+3

P(one is mango and other is guava) = (3/x+3)(x/x+2)

                                                           = $\frac{3x}{(x+3)(x+2)}$

The probability that one fruit is mango another is guava $\frac{3x}{(x+3)(x+2)}$
