A basket contains 9 apples, 8 bananas and 7 oranges. A fruit is picked from the basket, find the probability that it is neither an apple nor an orange.
A.
3/8
B.
1/3
C.
7/24
D.
2/3
Correct Answer: 1/3
Explanation
n(apples) = 9 n(bananas) = 8 n(oranges) = 7 n(ε) = 24 Hence Prob(not apple, nor orange) = Prob(banana) = 8/24 = 1/3
n(apples) = 9 n(bananas) = 8 n(oranges) = 7 n(ε) = 24 Hence Prob(not apple, nor orange) = Prob(banana) = 8/24 = 1/3THIS WEEK's
