Answer 1

Explanation:

(A) = (20C2)/(30C2) = 190/435 ______________{as there are 20 oranges}

P(B) = (22C2)/(30C2) = 231/435 ___{as there are total 7+15=22 non-defective fruits}

P(A⋂B) = (15C2)/(30C2) = 105/435________{as there are 15 non-defective oranges}

substituting the values, we get an answer to be 316/435.

to the nearest 100th is 0.73
