Question

The owner of an apple orchard collected a sample of 40 apples. The check revealed that 32 apples contained no worms, 5 contained one worm, and 3 contained two worms. What are the odds in favor of a random apple containing exactly two worms?

Answer 1

If you want your answer in fraction form, it is `3/40`. In decimal form, it is 0.075. If you want a percent, the answer is 7.5%

Explanation:

Since the question is asking for the odds of a random apple containing two worms, the check revealed 3 apples with two worms out of 40 apples (worms or not).

You can write this as:
`3/40`, 0.075, or 7.5%.
