Question

In a carton of 120 fruits, 24 are rotten. The probability that a fruit, taken out of the carton at random, will be good is ___.

Answer 1

Number of good fruits = 120 – 24 = 96

Total number of fruits = 120

Probability of picking a good fruit $=\frac{\text{Number of good fruits}}{\text{Total number of fruits}}$

Probability of picking a good fruit $=\frac{96}{120}=0.8$
