b) In a box of 10 oranges, 3 are bad. If two oranges are drawn at random one after the other
without replacement, find the probability that
(i)both are good
(ii)one is good and the other is bad

Respuesta :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A,B, and C be the respective events that the first, second, and third drawn orange is good.

Therefore, probability that first drawn orange is good, P(A)=

15

12

The oranges are not replaced.

Therefore, probability of getting second orange good, P(B)=

14

11

Similarly, probability of getting third orange good, P(C)=

13

The box is approved for sale if all the three oranges are good.

Thus, probability of getting all the oranges good =

Therefore, the probability that the box is approved for sale is 0.48

Answer:i

i) 7/15

ii) 7/15

Step-by-step explanation:

total: 10

good: 7

bad: 3

i) both are good

p(both good) = 7/10 * 6/9 = 42/90 = 7/15

ii) one good & one bad

p(first good & second bad) = 7/10 * 3/9 = 21/90 = 7/30

p(first bad & second good) = 3/10 * 7/9 = 21/90 = 7/30

p(one good & one bad) = 7/30 + 7/30 = 14/30 = 7/15
