Question

a bag contains lemon- flavoured candies only. Hema takes out one condy without looking into the bag. What is the probability that she takes out (i) an orange-flavoured candy? (ii) a lemon-flavoured candy?

Answer 1

Correct Answer - ` (i) 0 (ii) 1`
Suppose there are x candies in the bag.
Then, number of orange-flavoured candies in the bag = 0.
And, the number of lemon-flavoured candies in the bag = x.
` :. ` (i) P(getting an orange-flavoured candy) ` = 0/x = 0`.
(ii) P(getting a lemon-flavoured candy) = ` x/x = 1`.
