A bag contains lemon flavoured candies only. Malini takes out one candy without looking into the bag. What is the probability that she takes out :
(i) an orange flavoured candy?
(ii) a lemon flavoured candy?
Number of red marbles = 5
Number of white marbles = 8
Number of green marbles = 4
Total number of marbles = 5 + 8 + 4 = 17
i.e. n(s) = 17
(i) Let A be the favourable outcomes of getting red marble, then
n(A) = 5
Therefore, P(A) =
(ii) Let B be the favourable outcomes of getting white marbles, then n(B) = 8
Therefore, P(B) =
(iii) Let C be the favourable outcomes of getting ‘not green’ marble, then
n(C) = 5 + 8 = 13
Therefore, P(C) =
