What is the probability that he will choose a movie magazine and then a nature magazine? Answer choices: 1/2256/225 1/7 1/35

Answer 1

For this case we can do the following:

The probability of select one movie magazine is:

p = 2/15

Then after the first selection we have jus 14 so then the probability to select a nature magazine would be:

p= 3/14

And the final probability would be:

p = 2/15 * 3/14 = 1/35
