Question

A. 1/10
B. 47/90
C. 3/50
D. 1/2

Answer 1

The answer is D. 1/2

Answer 2

Answer:

Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

From given information it is clear that

Total number of fisherman = 10

Who like salmon fish = 3

Who like trout fish = 5

Who like bass fish = 2

We need to find the probability that the fisherman likes salmon or bass.

$Probability=\dfrac{\text{Who like salmon fish + Who like bass fish}}{\text{Total number of fisherman}}$

$Probability=\dfrac{3+2}{10}$

$Probability=\dfrac{5}{10}$

$Probability=\dfrac{1}{2}$

Therefore, the correct option is D.
