Question

A flower vase has 5 white lilies, 4 pink roses, and 6 yellow carnations. One flower is chosen at random and given to a woman. Another flower is then chosen at random and given to a different woman. What is the probability that both flowers are pink roses?

Answer 1

2/35, you can just multiply 4/15 x 3/14

Answer 2

Total flowers = 5 + 4 + 6 = 15
Pink roses = 4

P(two pink roses) = (4/15)(3/14) = 2/35

Answer: 2/35
