 A basket contains 70 apples and 10 oranges out of which 8 apples and 3 oranges are rotten. If a person takes out one fruit at random, find the probability that the fruit is either an apple or a good fruit.

Answer: 7780


SOLUTION 1 :

Total number of fruit = Apple 70 + orange 10

n(S) = 80.

Let A be the event of getting a fruit which ia apple.

n(A) = 70 .

P(A) = n(A) / n(S) = 7080.

Let B be the event of getting a good fruit. 

Total rotten furits = 8 apples + 3 oranges = 11

Total good furit = Total fruit - Rotten fruits.

      = 80 - 11

n(B) = 69

P(B) = n(B) / n(S) = 6980.

A and B are not mutually excusive events.

Let A∩B = 62 ( Numbers of good apples is 62 )

P(A∩B) = n(AB) / n(S) = 6280 .

P(A or B) = n(A∩B) 

P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B) .

             =   7080  + 6980  - 6280 = 77 / 80

             = 7780  

             =     7780



2)  

 A basket contains 90 apples and 20 oranges out of which 5 apples and 4 oranges are rotten. If a person takes out one fruit at random, find the probability that the fruit is either an apple or a good fruit.

Answer: 5355


SOLUTION 1 :

Total number of fruit = Apple 90 + orange 20

n(S) = 110.

Let A be the event of getting a fruit which ia apple.

n(A) = 90 .

P(A) = n(A) / n(S) = 90110.

Let B be the event of getting a good fruit. 

Total rotten furits = 5 apples + 4 oranges = 9

Total good furit = Total fruit - Rotten fruits.

      = 110 - 9

n(B) = 101

P(B) = n(B) / n(S) = 101110.

A and B are not mutually excusive events.

Let A∩B = 85 ( Numbers of good apples is 85 )

P(A∩B) = n(AB) / n(S) = 85110 .

P(A or B) = n(A∩B) 

P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B) .

             =   90110  + 101110  - 85110 = 106 / 110

             = 106110  

             =     5355



3)  

 A basket contains 80 apples and 30 oranges out of which 5 apples and 5 oranges are rotten. If a person takes out one fruit at random, find the probability that the fruit is either an apple or a good fruit.

Answer: 2122


SOLUTION 1 :

Total number of fruit = Apple 80 + orange 30

n(S) = 110.

Let A be the event of getting a fruit which ia apple.

n(A) = 80 .

P(A) = n(A) / n(S) = 80110.

Let B be the event of getting a good fruit. 

Total rotten furits = 5 apples + 5 oranges = 10

Total good furit = Total fruit - Rotten fruits.

      = 110 - 10

n(B) = 100

P(B) = n(B) / n(S) = 100110.

A and B are not mutually excusive events.

Let A∩B = 75 ( Numbers of good apples is 75 )

P(A∩B) = n(AB) / n(S) = 75110 .

P(A or B) = n(A∩B) 

P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B) .

             =   80110  + 100110  - 75110 = 105 / 110

             = 105110  

             =     2122



4)  

 A basket contains 90 apples and 20 oranges out of which 6 apples and 6 oranges are rotten. If a person takes out one fruit at random, find the probability that the fruit is either an apple or a good fruit.

Answer: 5255


SOLUTION 1 :

Total number of fruit = Apple 90 + orange 20

n(S) = 110.

Let A be the event of getting a fruit which ia apple.

n(A) = 90 .

P(A) = n(A) / n(S) = 90110.

Let B be the event of getting a good fruit. 

Total rotten furits = 6 apples + 6 oranges = 12

Total good furit = Total fruit - Rotten fruits.

      = 110 - 12

n(B) = 98

P(B) = n(B) / n(S) = 98110.

A and B are not mutually excusive events.

Let A∩B = 84 ( Numbers of good apples is 84 )

P(A∩B) = n(AB) / n(S) = 84110 .

P(A or B) = n(A∩B) 

P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B) .

             =   90110  + 98110  - 84110 = 104 / 110

             = 104110  

             =     5255



5)  

 A basket contains 90 apples and 20 oranges out of which 9 apples and 6 oranges are rotten. If a person takes out one fruit at random, find the probability that the fruit is either an apple or a good fruit.

SOLUTION 1 :

Total number of fruit = Apple 90 + orange 20

n(S) = 110.

Let A be the event of getting a fruit which ia apple.

n(A) = 90 .

P(A) = n(A) / n(S) = 90110.

Let B be the event of getting a good fruit. 

Total rotten furits = 9 apples + 6 oranges = 15

Total good furit = Total fruit - Rotten fruits.

      = 110 - 15

n(B) = 95

P(B) = n(B) / n(S) = 95110.

A and B are not mutually excusive events.

Let A∩B = 81 ( Numbers of good apples is 81 )

P(A∩B) = n(AB) / n(S) = 81110 .

P(A or B) = n(A∩B) 

P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B) .

             =   90110  + 95110  - 81110 = 104 / 110

             = 104110  

             =     5255

 A basket contains 60 apples and 20 oranges out of which 5 apples and 4 oranges are rotten. If a person takes out one fruit at random, find the probability that the fruit is either an apple or a good fruit.

Answer: 1920


SOLUTION 1 :

Total number of fruit = Apple 60 + orange 20

n(S) = 80.

Let A be the event of getting a fruit which ia apple.

n(A) = 60 .

P(A) = n(A) / n(S) = 6080.

Let B be the event of getting a good fruit. 

Total rotten furits = 5 apples + 4 oranges = 9
