Question

in a basket there are 5 apples 12 bananas and 8 Orange find the probability that the fruit chosen at random is a an apple B not an Apple C not a orange d a banana

Answer 1

a. No of apples = 5
Total no of fruits = 25
Probability of choosing an apple = 5÷25=1/5

b. No of fruits other than apple = 20
Hence the probability of not finding an apple = 4/5

c. No of fruits other than orange = 17
Hence probability of not finding an orange= 17/25


d. No. of bananas = 12
Probability of choosing a banana =12/25
