Question

Melina stocks her fruit stand with organic and non-organic fruits and keeps track of what is sold. The results are shown in the following probability distribution table.
Organic vs.
Fruit Apples Oranges Total
Organic 0.57 0.19 0.76
Non-Organic 0.13 0.11 0.24
Total 0.70 0.30 1
What is the probability that a randomly selected apple is non-organic?
0.25
0.81
0.0015
0.19

Answer 1

The probability that a randomly selected apple is non-organic is option D) 0.19

Step-by-step explanation:

From the table shown:

• The probability of total apples = 0.7
• The probability of apples that are non-organic = 0.14

P(apple to be non-organic)= P(apples that are non-organic) / P(total apples)

⇒ 0.14 / 0.7

⇒ 0.2

⇒ Approximately 0.19 ≈ 0.2

Answer 2

Answer:

0.19

Step-by-step explanation:

Organic apples = 0.57

Total apples = 0.70

0.57 / 0.70 = 0.19
