# A Bag Contains Lemon-flavoured Candies Only. Hema Takes Out One Candy Without Looking into the Bag. What is the Probability that She Takes Out an Orange-flavoured Candy ? - Mathematics

Short Note
Sum

A bag contains lemon-flavoured candies only. Hema takes out one candy without looking into the bag. What is the probability that she takes out an orange-flavoured candy ?

#### Solution

Suppose there are x candies in the bag.

Then, number of orange candies in the bag = 0.

And, number of lemon candies in the bag = x.

Let E1 be the event of getting an orange-flavoured candy.

∴ P(getting an orange-flavoured candy) = P(E1) =("Number of outcomes favourable to"  E_1)/"Number of all possible outcomes"

=0/x=0

Thus, the probability that Hema takes out an orange-flavoured candy is 0.
