find the prob(apple or peach) , (similar to the previous question)
the prob NOT apple or peach = 1 - prob(apple or peach)
the prob NOT apple or peach = 1 - prob(apple or peach)
Hello Reiny,
Well 7 are apples and 2 pieces of fruit are peaches. This basically leaves 3 pieces of fruit that are neither apple or peach. So my answer would be as follows
3/12 = 1/4. you'll have a 25 percent chance because 75 percent is the apples and peaches -Is this correct?
Reiny I am new at this an just learning this a bit so I am not very good at this.
