We check 15 bananas. Six of the bananas are bruised. Recall the Definition of Probability: In the event when every possible outcome of an experiment is equally likely, the probability is given by, 
Probability of an event or = ‘Number of favorable outcomes/Total number of possible outcomes 
(a) According to the given statement, there are a total of 15 bananas, and 6 of them are bruised.
Therefore, the experimental probability that "banana" is bruised is 
615=25 
(b) Also, there are 15 — 6 = 9 number of bananas are not bruised. Thus, the experimental probability that « banana is not bruised is 
915=35 
a.25b.35
