Question 1 Report

In a basket, there are 6 grapes, 11 bananas and 13 oranges. If one fruit is chosen at random, what is the probability that the fruit is either a grape or a banana?

Answer Details
There are 6+11+13=30 fruits in the basket. The probability of choosing a grape is 6/30 and the probability of choosing a banana is 11/30. The probability of choosing either a grape or a banana is the sum of these probabilities: 6/30 + 11/30 = 17/30. Therefore, the answer is 17/30.
