there were three apples , 1 mixed fruit, 2 grape, and 4 tropical fruit juice boxes in the cooler at the picnic. What is the probability that, when Jill reaches into the cooler to grab two juice boxes without replacing them, she grabs two that are grape?

Answer:

1/45 ≈ 0.022

Explanation:

There are originally 10 juice boxes in the cooler, 2 of which are grape.

The probability that the first juice box is grape is 2/10.

The probability that the second juice box is grape is 1/9.

The probability of both is (2/10) (1/9) = 1/45 ≈ 0.022.
