Question

An ice chest contains 3 types of drinks: 10 apple juries 15 grape juices and 15 bottles of water what is the probability of getting a drink that does not contain fruit juice

Answer 1

Answer:
`(3)/(8)`

Explanation:

Given: An ice chest contains 3 types of drinks: 10 apple juries 15 grape juices and 15 bottles of water.

Total drinks= 10+15+15 = 40 (Total outcomes)

Number of drink that does not contain fruit juice = Number of bottles of water = 15 (Favorable outcomes)

The probability of getting a drink that does not contain fruit juice =
`(Favorable\ outxcomes)/(Total\ outcomes)`

`=(15)/(40)\\\\=(3)/(8)`

So, the required probability =
`(3)/(8)` .
