Solution

  • The bag contains lemon-flavoured candies only. It does not contain any orange-flavoured candies.
  • This implies that every time, she will take out only lemon-flavoured candies. Therefore, the event that Malini will take out an orange-flavoured candy is an impossible one. Hence, P (an orange flavoured candy) = 0
