A bowl of fruit contains only apples, oranges, and pears .if a piece of fruit is randomly selected from the bowl, what is the probability that the piece of fruit is an apple?

(1)Half of the fruit in the bowl is oranges
(2)The prob. of NOT selecting a pear is 70 percent.

It should be C. I will refer to Probability of Apple as PA and so forth

We need PA

1) PO = 0.5 , Not Suff

2) PA + PO = 0.7 Not Suff

1) + 2) we can solve for PA and hence it is suff.
