Question

There are 10 green apples and 13 red apples in the kitchen where employees take their lunch. Find the probability that a green apple is picked at random by an employee. Convert the fraction to a decimal. Round to three decimal places.

Answer 1

Data:

10 green apples (g)

13 red apples (r)

Find the probability that a green apple is picked at random by an employee (Pg)

`\begin{gathered} Pg=\frac{\#\text{green apples}}{\#\text{ total apples}}=\frac{\#\text{green apples}}{\#\text{ green apples + \#red apples}} \\ \\ Pg=(10)/(10+13)=(10)/(23)\approx0,435 \end{gathered}`
