Question 1 Report

In a basket of fruits, 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 a total of 6 + 11 + 13 = 30 fruits in the basket. The probability of selecting a grape is 6/30 and the probability of selecting a banana is 11/30. To find the probability of selecting either a grape or a banana, we add these probabilities: 6/30 + 11/30 = 17/30 So the probability of selecting either a grape or a banana is 17/30. Therefore, the answer is: - 17/30
