Question

A basket contains five apples and seven peaches. Four of the apples and two of the peaches are rotten. You randomly pick a piece of fruit. It is fresh or it is an apple. Find the probability of this occuring.

Answer 1

2/35possible outcomes:5*7=35fresh or apple = 22/35

Answer 2

Answer:$\frac{5}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

5 apples and 7 peaches out of which 4 apples and 2 peaches is rotten

i.e. 1 apple and 5 peaches is fresh

probability of fresh fruit is =$\frac{6}{12}$

probability of apple =$\frac{5}{12}$

Probability of both =$\frac{1}{12}$

Probability of fresh or an apple is=$\frac{6}{12}+\frac{5}{12}-\frac{1}{12}$

=$\frac{5}{6}$
