In this question, we're trying to find how many apples Jenson picked from the basket.

Lets gather information that can help us.

Important information:

• Picked a fruit from a basket 40 times Probability of picking an apple is 0.3

With the information above, we can solve the question.

We know that he picked up a fruit 40 times, but we need to find how many apples he picked up during the 40 times.

The probability of picking an apple is 0.3, which is equivalent to 30%

This means that 30% of the 40 times he picked an apple.

We would multiply 40 by 0.3 to get our answer.

40* 0.3 =12

This means that Jenson picked 12 apples.
