Answer:
The probability of a customer buying carrots is 0.10.
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, given:
P (Customer buying apples) = 12%
⇒ P(A) = 12 \100 = 0.12
P(Customer Buying apples AND Carrots) = 5%
⇒ P(A ∩ C ) = 5 /100 = 0.05
P(Customer buying apples OR carrots ) = 17%
⇒ P(A∪ C) = 17/100 = 0.17
Now, we know that:
<h3>
P(X ∪ Y) = P(X) + P(Y) - P(X ∩ Y ) </h3><h3>
</h3>
Now, here substituting the values, we get:
P(A∪ C) = P(A) + P(C) - P(A ∩ C )
⇒ 0. 17 = 0.12 + P(C) - 0.05
or, 0.17 - 0.07 = P(C)
or, P(C) = 0.10
or, P(Customer Buying Carrots) = 0.10
Hence, the probability of a customer buying carrots is 0.10.
Number of containers for 2 litres of water = 1
So, number of containers for 1 litre of water = ½
So, number of containers for 30 litres of water
= ½ × 30
= 30/2
= 15
So, 15 of these containers would be needed to fill a 30-liter drum.
