Ω = 4 set all equally probable events
aplle, pear,banana, orange
A = 1 random event favorable
banana



P(A) = (A)/(omega) = (1)/(4)

Roland choose once and has one chance in four that will draw the coveted banana. Therefore, the probability of this event is 1/4

Since there are 4 options and only 1 banana, there is a 1/4 chance he will pick a banana. I'm not sure what you mean by the last few questions? I think the sample space is an apple, pear, banana, or an orange. And the event is banana?
