Answer :
7 out of 16 . so therefore you add the number of oranges and pairs then on the number 16 you just add all pieces of friut
Answer: The probability that she selects an orange or a pear is 7/16.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given number of oranges = 4,
Apples = 9,
Pears = 3,
Total number of fruits = 4 + 9 + 3 = 16,
If she selects a piece of fruit from the box at random,
Then, the probability that she selects an orange or a pear
= The probability of oranges + The probability of oranges
[tex]=\frac{^4C_1}{^{16}C_1}+\frac{^3C_1}{^{16}C_1}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{4}{16}+\frac{3}{16}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{7}{16}[/tex]
