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

Step 1: Non-leafy varieties = 20 - 4 = 16.
Step 2: Probability of picking a non-leafy vegetable: \[ \frac{16}{20} = 0.8 \]
Step 3: By the complement rule, probability of leafy = 1 - 0.8.
\[ \boxed{0.2} \]
