Problem Analysis:
The image shows a basket containing the following fruits:
-
Mangoes: 5
-
Apples: 2
-
Bananas: 2
We are tasked with determining the probabilities of selecting specific types of fruits from the basket using the terms:
likely, impossible, certain, equally likely, less likely.
---
Solution to Each Question:
####
1. The probability of choosing a mango than an apple is:
- Total number of fruits: \( 5 \) (mangoes) + \( 2 \) (apples) + \( 2 \) (bananas) = \( 9 \).
- Probability of choosing a mango: \( \frac{5}{9} \).
- Probability of choosing an apple: \( \frac{2}{9} \).
- Since \( \frac{5}{9} > \frac{2}{9} \), it is
more likely to choose a mango than an apple.
Answer: A. most likely
---
####
2. The probability of choosing a ripe banana than a mango is:
- Probability of choosing a ripe banana: \( \frac{2}{9} \).
- Probability of choosing a mango: \( \frac{5}{9} \).
- Since \( \frac{2}{9} < \frac{5}{9} \), it is
less likely to choose a ripe banana than a mango.
Answer: B. less likely
---
####
3. The probability of choosing a ripe banana than an apple is:
- Probability of choosing a ripe banana: \( \frac{2}{9} \).
- Probability of choosing an apple: \( \frac{2}{9} \).
- Since both probabilities are equal, it is
equally likely to choose a ripe banana or an apple.
Answer: C. equally likely

####
4. The probability of choosing an orange than a mango is:
- There are no oranges in the basket.
- Probability of choosing an orange: \( 0 \).
- Probability of choosing a mango: \( \frac{5}{9} \).
- Since there are no oranges, it is
impossible to choose an orange.
Answer: B. impossible

####
5. The probability of choosing a green ball from the box is:
- The image does not show any balls or a box. Therefore, we cannot determine the probability of choosing a green ball.
- However, since the question asks about a "green ball" and there is no mention of balls in the image, it is reasonable to assume that the scenario is unrelated to the given basket of fruits.
- If we interpret this as a separate, undefined scenario, the probability of choosing a green ball from an empty or non-existent box is
impossible.
Answer: B. impossible
---
Final Answers:
1.
A. most likely
2.
B. less likely
3.
C. equally likely
4.
B. impossible
5.
B. impossible
Boxed Final Answer:
\[
\boxed{\text{A, B, C, B, B}}
\]
