Question

An ice chest contains 9 cans of apple juice6 cans of grape juice5 cans of orange juiceand 4 cans of pineapple juice Suppose that you reach the container and randomly select three cans in successionFind the probability of selecting no grape juice Select one 243 506 6 17/45; c * 5/506; d * 102/253

Answer 1

243/506

Explanation:

There are 24 total juice boxes.

18 of them are not grape

You have an 18/24 chance of picking not grape juice

The second time, 1 is removed, then another is removed. This creates:

(18/24)*(18/23)*(18/22) = 243/506
