here are 31 chocolates in a box, all identically shaped. There 9 are filled with nuts, 12 with caramel, and 10 are solid chocolate. You randomly select one piece, eat it, and then select a second piece. Find the probability of selecting 2 nut candies. (Hint: not replaced)

Answer:

12/155.

Explanation:

Prob (first being a nut) = 9/31.

Prob (2nd being a nut) = 8/30.

Required probability = 9/31* 8/30

= 72/930

= 12/155
