If Jan randomly draws one item from each drawer, what is the probability she draws diamond earrings and a silver bracelet?

Answer 1

Answer: 6/25 is your answer

Explanation:

just took the test on study island

Answer 2

`\text{ Answer:}P(\text{ getting diamond earrings and silver bracelet})=(6)/(25)`

Explanation:

Since we have given that

In first drawer,

Number of pairs of rhinestone earrings =3

Number of pairs of diamond earrings = 2

So,

`P(\text{ getting a diamond earrings})=(2)/(5)`

In second drawer,

Number of gold bracelets = 2

Number of silver bracelets =3

So,

`P(\text{ getting a silver bracelets})=(3)/(5)`

Now, we need to calculate probability she draws diamond earrings and a silver bracelets is given by

`P(\text{ getting diamond earrings and silver bracelet})\\\\=(2)/(5)* (3)/(5)\\\\=(6)/(25)`
