Answer 1

A box of donuts containing 4 maples bars, 4,chocolate donuts and 4 custard filled donuts is sitting on a counter in a work office. paige comes along and decide to eat two in a row. what is the probability that paige will eat a chocolate donut first and then a custard filled donuts second? ​

we have that

the probability is

P=(4/12)*(4/11)

P=16/132=0.12121212...

rounded to 4 decimal places is

P=0.1212

the fourth digit is 2 (remain the same, because the fifth digit is 1 and 1 <5)

P=0.1212 or P=12.12%
