Your teacher is giving out fruit for lunch. A paper bag contains 4 apples, 6 pears, and 8 oranges. What is the probability you will pick an orange at random? What is the complement to this event? What is the probability of the complement? Which fruit is more likely to be chosen?

Respuesta :

Answer:

What is the probability you will pick an orange at random?   4/9

What is the complement to this event?   Pulling either an apple or a pear from the bag

What is the probability of the complement?      5/9

Which fruit is more likely to be chosen?    Orange

The probability you will pick an orange at random  is 4/9, the complement event is taking an apple or a pear out of the bag, and the probability of complement event is 5/9, and the fruit is orange.

What is probability?

It is defined as the ratio of the number of favourable outcomes to the total number of outcomes, in other words, the probability is the number that shows the happening of the event.

We have the total number of fruits = 4+6+8 = 18

The probability you will pick an orange at random = 8/18 = 4/9

Complement of the above event: Taking an apple or a pear out of the bag

The probability of the complement

P = 1 - 4/9 = 5/9

As the probability of the choosing an orange is greater than others, so the orange is the fruit which is more likely to be chosen.

Thus, the probability you will pick an orange at random  is 4/9, the complement event is taking an apple or a pear out of the bag, and the probability of complement event is 5/9, and the fruit is orange.
