Step-by-step solution

3 steps

Here's how to calculate the probability that both fruits drawn are good.

Given:
Number of good fruits = 18
Number of bad fruits = 12
Total number of fruits = 18+12=3018 + 12 = 30

  1. Calculate the probability of drawing the first good fruit.

    The probability of drawing a good fruit on the first draw is the number of good fruits divided by the total number of fruits.

    P(1st good)=Number of good fruitsTotal number of fruits=1830P(\text{1st good}) = \frac{\text{Number of good fruits}}{\text{Total number of fruits}} = \frac{18}{30}
  2. Calculate the probability of drawing a second good fruit, given the first was good and not replaced.

    After drawing one good fruit, there are now 17 good fruits left and a total of 29 fruits remaining in the bag.

    P(2nd good | 1st good)=Number of remaining good fruitsTotal remaining fruits=1729P(\text{2nd good | 1st good}) = \frac{\text{Number of remaining good fruits}}{\text{Total remaining fruits}} = \frac{17}{29}
  3. Calculate the probability that both fruits drawn are good.

    To find the probability that both events occur, multiply the probabilities from Step 1 and Step 2.

    P(both good)=P(1st good)×P(2nd good | 1st good)P(\text{both good}) = P(\text{1st good}) \times P(\text{2nd good | 1st good}) P(both good)=1830×1729P(\text{both good}) = \frac{18}{30} \times \frac{17}{29} P(both good)=35×1729P(\text{both good}) = \frac{3}{5} \times \frac{17}{29} P(both good)=3×175×29P(\text{both good}) = \frac{3 \times 17}{5 \times 29} P(both good)=51145P(\text{both good}) = \frac{51}{145}

    The probability that both fruits are good is 51145\frac{51}{145}.
