Question

a basket contains red, green, yellow apples. An apple is selected at random if p(red) is 2/5 P(yellow) is 1/4 what is p(green)?
A. 3/20
B. 7/20
C. 1/10
D. 13/20

Answer 1

The probability of getting the green apple is 7/20 option (B) 7/20 is correct.

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:

P(red) = 2/5

P(yellow) = 1/4

The sum of the probability of the event is 1.

P(red) + P(yellow) + P(green) = 1

2/5 + 1/4 + P(green) = 1

P(green) = 1 - (2/5 + 1/4)

P(green) = 7/20

Thus, the probability of getting the green apple is 7/20 option (B) 7/20 is correct.
