Question

A jar contains 18 apple lollipops, 7 strawberry lollipops, and 10 grape lollipops. Irvin randomly selects a lollipop, gives it to his brother, and then randomly selects another lollipop for himself.

What is the probability that Irvin selected a grape lollipop for his brother and an apple lollipop for himself?
Write your answer as a percent.
Round to the nearest tenth of a percent.

Answer 1

Total number of lollipops = 35

P(selects a grape ) = 10/35

P( then selects an apple) = 18/34

Required probability = 10/35 * 18/34 = 18/119 = 15.1% answer
