Question

There are 4 raspberries and 8 strawberries. find the probability if two fruits are chosen and both are raspberries.

Answer 1

Probability is the branch of mathematics that deals with calculating the likelihood of a given event's occurrence. It is expressed as a number between 0 and 1. An event with Probability 1 can be considered a certainty where as an event with probability 0 is considered as impossibility.

The solution of the above question is given below:
No. of possible outcomes = 4 + 8 = 12
No. of favorable outcomes = 2
Hence probability = 2/12 = 1/6
