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 ...

Answer Details

To find the probability that a fruit chosen at random is either a grape or a banana, we need to first determine the total number of fruits in the basket, which is the sum of grapes and bananas, since we are only interested in these two types of fruits. Total number of grapes and bananas = 6 + 11 = 17 Therefore, the probability of choosing either a grape or a banana is: P(grape or banana) = (number of grapes + number of bananas) / total number of fruits = 17 / (6 + 11 + 13) = 17 / 30 Hence, the probability that the fruit chosen is either a grape or a banana is 17/30. Therefore, the answer is not any of the options provided.
