Question

1. A toy bin contains 12 toys, 8 stuffed animals and 3 board games. Mandi randomly chooses 2 items. What is the probability that she chooses 2 stuffed animals as her first 2 choices? (Enter your answer as a whole number, percent.)

Answer 1

Well there are a total of 23 items in the box. She’ll take out two. The odds of getting any two items would be 8%. Knowing that she wants to get two stuffed animals, we’d have to multiply 23 by 2, then divide by 8 since there are 8 stuffed animals. She has a 17% chance of grabbing 2 stuffed animals randomly.
