Question

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?

Answer 1

(i) The bag contains lemon flavoured candies only. So, the event that malini will take out an orange flavoured candy is an impossible event. Since, probability of impossible event is O, P(an orange flavoured candy) = 0

(ii) The bag contains lemon flavoured candies only. So, the event that malini will take out a lemon flavoured candy is sure event. Since probability of sure event is 1, P(a lemon flavoured candy) = 1
