9) The probability of an orange tree producing ripe fruit in the June is 53%. The probability that the same type of tree will bud seed immediately after a harsh winter is 41% and the probability of both is 35%.

Step 1
We can use the formula for the probability of the union of two events: P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A ∩ B) We are given the probabilities of each event and their intersection: P(A) = 0.53 (producing ripe fruits in June) P(B) = 0.41 (budding seed immediately after Show more…

A farm has two types of trees: 30% are orange trees (O) and 70% are apple trees (A). Frost (F) has damaged 40% of the orange trees (F|O) = 0.4 and 10% of apple trees. What is the probability that a randomly selected tree was damaged by Frost?
