Question

A basket contains five apples and seven peaches. You randomly select one piece of fruit and eat it. Then you randomly select another piece of fruit. The first piece of fruit is an apple and the second is a peach.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Total fruits T= 5+7 = 12

No. Of apple n(A) = 5

No. Of peaches n(P) = 7

P(A) 1st = n(A)/T = 5/12

P(P) 2nd = n(p)/(T-1) = 7/11

: P(A and P) = 5/12 × 7/11

= 35/132
