Question

There are 10 pieces of fruit in a fruit bowl. There are x bananas in the fruit bowl. All of the rest of the fruit are apples.

Answer 1

The probability that Sarah takes one piece of each fruit is; (10x - x²)/100

Probability

We are given;

• Number of fruits in the bowl = 10

• Number of bananas = x

Thus, remaining fruits are;

• Number of apples = 10 - x

Probability that at least one will be banana = x/10

Probability that at least one will be apple = (10 - x)/10

Thus;

Probability that she takes one piece of each fruit is;

x/10 × (10 - x)/10

⇒ x(10 - x)/100

⇒ (10x - x²)/100
