Question : 24

Total: 40

Solution:

Concept:

Probability is the ratio of favourable outcomes to total possible outcomes.

Explanation:

Total oranges in the bag =

20

Bad oranges =

6

Good oranges =

20 - 6 = 14

Probability of picking a good orange =

\frac{\text{Good oranges}}{\text{Total oranges}} = \frac{14}{20}

Simplify

\frac{14}{20}

by dividing numerator and denominator by

2

\frac{14 \div 2}{20 \div 2} = \frac{7}{10}

Answer:

\frac{7}{10}
