There are 12 pieces of fruit in a bowl.7 are apples 2 are peaches.What is the probability that a randomly selected piece of fruit will not be an apple or a peach?Justify your answer.

No,it is unlikely she will choose outmeal.

To find the probability that a randomly selected piece of fruit will not be an apple or a peach, we first need to determine the total number of fruits in the bowl that are not apples or peaches.

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

Step 1: Determine the number of fruits that are not apples or peaches.
- We know that there are 12 pieces of fruit in total.
- Out of these, 7 are apples and 2 are peaches.
- So, the number of fruits that are not apples or peaches can be calculated as: Total fruits - (Apples + Peaches) = 12 - (7 + 2).

Step 2: Calculate the probability of selecting a fruit that is not an apple or a peach.
- The probability is calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes (fruits that are not apples or peaches) by the number of total possible outcomes (total number of fruits).
- So, the probability can be calculated as: Number of fruits that are not apples or peaches / Total number of fruits.

Now let's substitute the values into our formula:

Number of fruits that are not apples or peaches = 12 - (7 + 2) = 12 - 9 = 3.

Total number of fruits = 12.

Probability = Number of fruits that are not apples or peaches / Total number of fruits = 3 / 12 = 1/4.

So, the probability that a randomly selected piece of fruit will not be an apple or a peach is 1/4 or 25%.

Tony is selling dried fruit snacks to help raise money for a new school computer. Half of the fruit snacks in the bag are apricots. Of the rest of the fruit snacks, half of them are bananas, and the other 8 are cranberries. How many fruit snacks are in the bag?

The answer is 7 by 14 and it is as likely as not

For breakfast, Clarissa can choose from oatmeal, cereal, French toast, or scrambled eggs. She thinks that if she selects a breakfast at random, it is likely that it will be oatmeal. Is she correct? Explain your reasoning.

3 of the fruits are not apple or peach.

So, p=3/12
