A.

6/30

B.

5/30

C.

17/30

D.

11/30

Correct Answer: 17/30

Explanation

Number of grapes = 6 Number of banana = 11 Number of oranges = 13 Total = 30 P(Grape) = 6/30, P(Banana) = 11/30 P(Orange) = 13/30 ∴P(Either grape or banana) = 6/30 + 11/30 = 17/30

Number of grapes = 6 Number of banana = 11 Number of oranges = 13 Total = 30 P(Grape) = 6/30, P(Banana) = 11/30 P(Orange) = 13/30 ∴P(Either grape or banana) = 6/30 + 11/30 = 17/30
