A bag contains lemon flavoured candies only. Malini takes out one candy without looking into the bag. What is the probability that she takes out
(i) an orange flavoured candy?
(ii) a lemon flavoured candy?
Solution:
A bag contains only lemon-flavoured candies. Malini picks one without looking.
(i) Probability of getting an orange-flavoured candy:
Since there are no orange candies,
P(orange candy) = 0
(ii) Probability of getting a lemon-flavoured candy:
Since all candies are lemon,
P(lemon candy) = 1
