Question

A kitchen garden is having 20 varieties of vegetables and out of these 4 are leafy vegetables. Calculate the probability of getting a leafy vegetable

• A. 0.5
• B. 0.4
• C. 0.2
• D. 0.1

Hint:

Probability = (Number of desired outcomes) / (Total number of possible outcomes). Here, desired outcomes = 4 leafy vegetables. Total possible outcomes = 20 vegetable varieties. Probability = 4/20 = 1/5 = 0.2.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Probability is calculated as the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of possible outcomes. In this case:
Number of favorable outcomes (getting a leafy vegetable) = 4 (since there are 4 leafy vegetable varieties)
Total number of possible outcomes (total varieties of vegetables) = 20 The probability of getting a leafy vegetable is: P(leafy vegetable) = \fracNumber of leafy vegetable varietiesTotal number of vegetable varieties P(leafy vegetable) = \frac420 Simplifying the fraction: P(leafy vegetable) = \frac15 Converting the fraction to a decimal: P(leafy vegetable) = 1 \div 5 = 0.2 Therefore, the probability of getting a leafy vegetable is 0.2. 0.2
