Question (Find The Probability Question) Choose 2 apples to eat from a bowl containing 6 apples, 8 oranges, and 4 bananas.
Answer: 240/990 = 8/33. Step-by-step explanation: Arbitrarily, the chances of this outcome, by picking an apple first, then an orange, then a banana, is: 5/11 × 4/10 × 2/9= 40/990 But we don’t care about the order and in reality, there are six orders that would achieve our outcome: Apple, orange, banana Apple, banana, orange Orange, Apple, banana Orange, banana, Apple Banana, Apple, orange Banana, orange, Apple The probability of each these outcomes is the same as computed above (Just exchanging numerators.) So the answer is 6×(40/990) Reply
The answer is 8/33 since you do 6/20 times 6/20 which is 36/400 which simplifies to 8/33
