Question

Out of 7 fruits in a basket , 2 are rotten. If two fruits are drawn at random from the basket, the probability of both being rotten is

Answer 1

rotten is probability is2/7

Answer 2

Answer:

0.0476

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of fruits = 7

Total no. of rotten fruits = 2

The probability of getting rotten apple = $\frac{2}{7}$

Now remaining total apples = 6

Remaining no. of rotten fruits = 1

The probability of getting rotten apple = $\frac{1}{6}$

So, the probability of both being rotten = $\frac{2}{7} \times \frac{1}{6}$

                                                                  = $0.0476$

Hence  the probability of both being rotten is 0.0476
