There ara two bags A and B. A contains 6 red flowers and 3 pink flowers. where as bag B contains 2 red flowers and 7 pink flowers. One flower is choosen from a bag randomly. What is the probability that the flower choosen is pink?
a.4/9
b.1/3
c.5/4
d.3/9
Read Solution (Total 6)
-
- bag A-6 red+3 pink
bag B-2 red+7 pink
probability of picking 1 pink from bag A is-3/9
probability of picking 1 pink from bag B is-7/9
Total =3/9+7/9=10/9
and probability of selecting a bag is-1/2
so finally prob. of choosing a pink flower=1/2(10/9)=5/9 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(28) No(3)
- probability of pink ball=((1/2)*3/9)+((1/2)*7/9)=5/9

- simply, the question says , the work is done in 4*3 = 12 man working hours
so, if 4 people do it, then no. of days required = 12/4 = 3 (answer) - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(9)

- Total number of flowers in bag A = 6+3 = 9.
Total number of flowers in bag B = 7+2 = 9.
Probability of choosing any one of the bags= 1/2.
Probability of choosing a pink flower from bag A
= No. of Pink flowers in Bag A / total number of flowers in Bag A.
= 3/9.
Probability of choosing a pink flower from bag B
= No. of Pink flowers in Bag B/ total number of flowers in Bag B.
= 7/9.
Probability of choosing a pink flower at random
= (Probability of choosing Bag A * Probability of choosing a pink flower from bag A) +
(Probability of choosing Bag B * Probability of choosing a pink flower from bag B)
= (1/2 * 3/9) + (1/2 * 7/9)
= 3/18 + 7/18
= 10/18
=5/9.
Hence, the probability of choosing a pink flower from any one of the bags at random is 5/9. - 4 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
