Question

In a bag of apples there are 4 green apples and 2 red apples. Bethany takes a green apple out of the bag and does not replace it. She then takes another apple out of the bag. What is the probability that the second apple is red?

A) 1/5

B) 1/6

C) 2/5

D) 2/6

Answer 1

the answer is C because she took one apple out so the total of apples is 5 not 6 anymore. there's 2 red apples so the probability is 2/5 :) 

Answer 2

Option C 2/5 is correct.

Explanation:

Total number of apples in the bag = 4+2=6

As stated, Bethany takes a green apple out of the bag and does not replace it. So, apples in the bag left are 6-1=5

Now, out of these 5 apples, she takes another apple out of the bag. Now, the probability that it would be a red apple is = $\frac{2}{5}$ (2 because there are 2 red apples)

Hence, 2/5 or 40% is the answer.

Probability of something can be defined as the amount of the entity to the total amount of entities.
