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

Question

Answer

Please,Mention a bag contains how many of lemon flavoured candies.
The formula to find probability is .
P(E)=No of favourable outcomes/ Total no of outcome.

Answer

Introduction:
In this problem, Malini takes out one candy from a bag without looking. The bag contains only lemon-flavored candies. We need to determine the probability of Malini taking out an orange-flavored candy and a lemon-flavored candy.

Solution:
To find the probability, we need to know the total number of possible outcomes and the number of favorable outcomes.

(i) Probability of taking out an orange-flavored candy:
Since there are no orange-flavored candies in the bag, the probability of taking out an orange-flavored candy is 0. The bag contains only lemon-flavored candies, so it is impossible for Malini to pick an orange-flavored candy.

(ii) Probability of taking out a lemon-flavored candy:
Since the bag contains only lemon-flavored candies, the probability of taking out a lemon-flavored candy is 1. Malini will definitely pick a lemon-flavored candy because there are no other options available in the bag.

Explanation:
The probability of an event is the number of favorable outcomes divided by the number of possible outcomes. In this case, there are no orange-flavored candies in the bag, so the number of favorable outcomes for picking an orange-flavored candy is 0. The bag contains only lemon-flavored candies, so the number of favorable outcomes for picking a lemon-flavored candy is 1.

Since there is only one possible outcome (taking out a candy), the probability of picking a lemon-flavored candy is 1, and the probability of picking an orange-flavored candy is 0.
