Question

In a pack of 56 apples, 19 were rotten . One apple is chosen at random , find the probability of getting a red apple

Answer 1

37/56

Step-by-step explanation:

it can be solved using the concept of combination

as total apples are 56

and 19 are rotten

fresh red apples are 37

the chosen apple must me red

then it must come from 37 apple

and also it belongs to the set of apple that is 56

from combination we have total sample space for finding probability is

=56C1

and number of outcomes is equal to 37C1

now total probability is =37C1/56C1

further solving it bu combination formula we have

37/56

Answer 2

Answer:

The probability of getting a red apple is $\frac{37}{56}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the total number of apples = 56

Number of rotten apples = 19

Therefore, the number of red apples = 56 - 19 = 37 apples.

Assuming that the red apples are the ones that are not rotten.

We need to find the probability of getting a red apple.

We know that Probability = $\frac{FavourableOutcomes}{Total No. Of Outcomes}$

Therefore, P(Red) = $\frac{Red Apples}{Total Apples}$

                              = $\frac{37}{56}$

Therefore, the probability of getting a red apple is $\frac{37}{56}$
