The probability of selecting a rotten apple randomly from a heap of 900 apples is 0.18. What is the number of rotten apples in the heap?

Let the number of rotten apples be x.


And total no of apples = 900 [Given]


We know,


Probability


For getting a rotten egg,


No of favorable outcomes = No of rotten apples = x


No of possible outcome = Total no of apples = 900


Probability of getting a rotten apple = 0.18


Putting the values we get,



⇒ x = 900(0.18) = 162
