Question

A basket contains 3 apples and 7 oranges. A fruit is drawn and put back into the basket. This process is repeated 3 times. What is the probability that selected three fruits are orange? **Please answer in fractions only!**

Answer 1

27/343

Explanation:

Probability one = 3/7

3 times = 3/7*3/7*3/7

27/343

Answer 2

343/1000 or 0.343

Explanation:

Given: A basket contains 3 apples and 7 oranges. A fruit is drawn and put in the basket. This process is repeated 3 times.

To find: The probability that selected three fruits and oranges.

Solution:

`(7)/(3+7)`
`=(7)/(10)`

Now for 3 times, the probability

=
`(7)/(10) *(7)/(10)*(7)/(10)`

`=0.343`
