Answer :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We check 15 bananas. Six of the bananas are bruised. Recall the Definition of Probability: In the event when every possible outcome of an experiment is equally likely, the probability is given by,

Probability of an event or = ‘Number of favorable outcomes/Total number of possible outcomes

(a) According to the given statement, there are a total of 15 bananas, and 6 of them are bruised.

Therefore, the experimental probability that "banana" is bruised is

6/15 = 2/5

(b) Also, there are 15 — 6 = 9 number of bananas are not bruised. Thus, the experimental probability that « banana is not bruised is

9/15 = 3/5

A: 2/5

B:3/5
