Answer 1

Miguel took two cookies in total. The probabilities for the flavor of the second cookie are dependent on his first selection.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how many cookies Miguel took, we need to consider the number of individual cookie selections he made. Miguel first selects one cookie from the box containing three chocolate and seven butter cookies. After eating this cookie, there are nine remaining cookies in the box. Then, Miguel selects another cookie from the remaining nine cookies. Therefore, he took two cookies in total.

The probabilities for the flavor of the second cookie that Miguel selects are dependent on his first selection. This is because the number of remaining cookies in the box and the flavors of those remaining cookies are influenced by the initial cookie selection.
