      Question

      The probability of selecting a rotten apple randomly

      from a heap of 600 apples is 0.14. What is the number of rotten apples in the heap?
      A 84 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 75 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 65 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 68 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Total number of apples in the heap = n(S) = 600 Let E be the event of selecting a rotten apple from the heap. Number of outcomes favourable to E = n(E) P(E) = n(E)/n(S) 0.14 = n(E)/600 β‡’ n(E) = 600 Γ— 0.14 β‡’ n(E) = 84 Therefore, the number of rotten apples in the heap = 84
