Question

Given is a basket of fruits containing 4 oranges, 5 apples and 1 pears. We pick three fruits with replacement from the basket. Find the probability of getting an orange and two apples

Answer 1

Answer:

the probability of getting an orange and two apples = 3/10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is a basket of fruits containing 4 oranges, 5 apples and 1 pears. We pick three fruits with replacement from the basket.

Apples = 5

Oranges = 4

Pear = 1

Total fruits = 10

We can get an orange & 2 Apples like this

OAA , AOA  , AAO

Probability of getting Orange =  4/10 = 2/5

Probability of getting Apple =  5/10 = 1/2

Probability at any position remains equal as replacement is there

3*(2/5)(1/2)(1/2)

= 3/10

Answer 2

Answer:

3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is a basket of fruits containing

oranges=4

apples=5

pears=1

Total number of fruits =5+4+1=10

probability of picking a orange=4/10=2/5

probability of picking a apple=5/10=1/2

we have to revise the function three times

that's why probability will be

3(2/5)(1/2)=3/5

is there 3*(2/5)(1/2)(1/2) = 3/10
