Question

A radio station has movie tickets to give away: 4 for a new action movie, 5 for a comedy movie, and 3 for a sci-fi movie. The disc jockey reaches into a box to randomly pick tickets as people call in. What is the probability that the first caller will receive a ticket to the comedy and the second will receive a ticket to the action movie?

Answer 1

Answer:

5/33

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of first caller (comedy) = 5/(3+4+5) = 5/12

Probability of second caller (action) = 4/(3+4+4) = 4/11

Probability of both = 5/12 * 4/11 = 5/33
