Question

Jack had four bags of M&M's and eight Reese's cups. He randomly chose a piece of candy, ate it, then chose another. What is the probability that both pieces of candy were Reese's cups. Show work.

please help me!!!​

Answer 1

Total = 12
P(M&Ms) = 4/12
P(Reese’s) = 8/12

8/12 (before he ate it)
7/11 (after he ate it)

Multiply the fractions
56/132 reduce to 14/33 (or you can leave it)
about 42.4%
