Solution

The possible outcomes of $7$ different coloured bottles are {red, blue, green, pink, yellow, purple, orange}. Therefore, the number of possible outcomes are $7$ .

Now, the possible outcome of getting orange coloured bottle is {orange}, which means the number of favourable outcome is $1$ .

Therefore, probability $P$ of getting orange coloured bottle is:

$P = \frac{1}{7}$

Hence, the probability of getting orange coloured bottle is $\frac{1}{7}$ .
