Answer 1

1

Explanation:

Probability = number of fruit type/total number of fruit. Total number of fruit = 5 + 9 + 5 = 19.

The probability of drawing an apple is P(apple) = number of apples/total number of fruit = 5/19.

The probability of drawing a peach is P(peach) = number of peaches/total number of fruit = 9/19

The probability of drawing an apple is P(orange) = number of oranges/total number of fruit = 5/19

The probability of drawing either an apple, peach or orange at the first draw of fruit from the bag is

P(apple or peach or orange) = P(apple) + P(peach) + P(orange)

= 5/19 + 9/19 + 5/19

= (5 + 9 + 5)/19

= 19/19

= 1
