Question

a fruit basket contains 8 apples, 4 oranges, and 18 peaches. find the theoretical probability of pulling out an orange. p(o) =? round your answer to the nearest hundredth

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total number of fruits

$8 + 4+18=30$

Step2: Calculate probability of pulling an orange

The number of oranges is 4. Probability formula is $P=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$. So $P(O)=\frac{4}{30}=\frac{2}{15}\approx 0.13$

Answer:

$0.13$
