Bag A
Blue candy = 6
Yellow candy = 2
Bag B
Blue candy = 5
Yellow candy = 5
We want the probability that Jessica grabs a yellow candy from each bag. That is ---
Probability of Yellow from Bag 1 AND Probability of Yellow from Bag 2
****** Recall that "AND" in probability means to "MULTIPLY".
Let's denote probability of yellow from Bag A as P(YBA) and probability of yellow from Bag B as P(YBB).
Let's find each and then multiply them.
• P(YBA) >>> There are total 6 + 2 = 8 candies out of which "2" are yellow, thus,
• P(YBB) >>> There are a total of 5 + 5 = 10 candies out of which "5" are yellow, thus,
The correct answer is
