Sushi the pomsky likes to parkour across the furniture. She never jumps on the same piece of furniture twice in a row. If there are 3 chairs, 1 couch, and 2 tables in a room, what is the probability that Sushi will first jump on a chair and then a table?

Answer:

really weird question, anyways

Explanation:

To calculate the probability, we need to determine the number of favorable outcomes (Sushi jumping on a chair first and then a table) and the total number of possible outcomes.

Sushi has 3 chairs and 2 tables to choose from. The probability of Sushi jumping on a chair first is 3/6 (since there are 6 pieces of furniture in total). After landing on a chair, Sushi will have 2 tables left to choose from out of the remaining 5 pieces of furniture.

Therefore, the probability of Sushi jumping on a chair first and then a table is (3/6) * (2/5) = 1/5 or 0.2.

So, the probability that Sushi will first jump on a chair and then a table is 0.2.
