Answer and explanation:
The two events of choosing jolly ranchers from each bag, first and second are independent events so the probability of first event AND second event will be multiplied
First bag has 4 red 2 green and one blue
Second bag has 4 red and 2 orange
what is the probability that he would choose a purple jolly rancher from the first bag and a red jolly rancher from the second
Probability = number of favourable outcomes /total number of favourable outcomes
The first bag does not have a purple jolly rancher and so probability is zero
the second bag's probability of choosing a red jolly rancher =4/6
probability of choosing a purple jolly rancher from first bag and red jolly rancher from second bag
=0*4/6=0
Answer=0
