Question

A girl and a boy each randomly grab a piece of candy from a bowl containing 9 pieces of chocolate, 7 fruit chews, 9 lollipops, and 9 peppermints. Find the probability that both events A and B will occur.

Event A: A girl grabs a lollipop

Event B: A boy grabs a fruit chew

Answer 1

I'm not the best at probability but i hope this helps

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the answer to this, you need to find the probability of a & the probability of b is a occurs. in this case the probability of a is 1/43 and the probability of the boy picking a fruit chew now becomes, 1/42. Now to find the total probability it's the p(A) + p(B) – p(A and B) hope this helps.
