The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the probability of picking up 4 fruits from a bucket containing 5 mangoes and 6 oranges, with the condition that at least 2 of the fruits must be oranges, we can break down the solution into clear steps. ### Step 1: Understand the Total Number of Fruits We have a total of: - 5 mangoes - 6 oranges Total fruits = 5 + 6 = 11 fruits. ### Step 2: Determine the Favorable Outcomes We need to find the number of ways to pick 4 fruits that contain at least 2 oranges. We can break this down into three cases: 1. Case 1: 2 oranges and 2 mangoes 2. Case 2: 3 oranges and 1 mango 3. Case 3: 4 oranges ### Step 3: Calculate Each Case **Case 1: 2 oranges and 2 mangoes** - The number of ways to choose 2 oranges from 6: \( \binom{6}{2} \) - The number of ways to choose 2 mangoes from 5: \( \binom{5}{2} \) Total ways for Case 1: \[ \text{Ways} = \binom{6}{2} \times \binom{5}{2} \] **Case 2: 3 oranges and 1 mango** - The number of ways to choose 3 oranges from 6: \( \binom{6}{3} \) - The number of ways to choose 1 mango from 5: \( \binom{5}{1} \) Total ways for Case 2: \[ \text{Ways} = \binom{6}{3} \times \binom{5}{1} \] **Case 3: 4 oranges** - The number of ways to choose 4 oranges from 6: \( \binom{6}{4} \) Total ways for Case 3: \[ \text{Ways} = \binom{6}{4} \] ### Step 4: Sum the Favorable Outcomes Now, we will sum the number of ways from all three cases: \[ \text{Total Favorable Outcomes} = \binom{6}{2} \times \binom{5}{2} + \binom{6}{3} \times \binom{5}{1} + \binom{6}{4} \] ### Step 5: Calculate Total Outcomes The total number of ways to choose any 4 fruits from 11 is given by: \[ \text{Total Outcomes} = \binom{11}{4} \] ### Step 6: Calculate the Probability The probability \( P \) of picking 4 fruits with at least 2 oranges is given by: \[ P = \frac{\text{Total Favorable Outcomes}}{\text{Total Outcomes}} \] ### Step 7: Substitute Values and Simplify Now we will substitute the values of the combinations: - \( \binom{6}{2} = 15 \) - \( \binom{5}{2} = 10 \) - \( \binom{6}{3} = 20 \) - \( \binom{5}{1} = 5 \) - \( \binom{6}{4} = 15 \) - \( \binom{11}{4} = 330 \) Calculating: 1. Case 1: \( 15 \times 10 = 150 \) 2. Case 2: \( 20 \times 5 = 100 \) 3. Case 3: \( 15 \) Total Favorable Outcomes: \[ 150 + 100 + 15 = 265 \] Total Outcomes: \[ 330 \] ### Final Probability Calculation \[ P = \frac{265}{330} = \frac{53}{66} \] Thus, the required probability is: \[ \boxed{\frac{53}{66}} \]
