The probability that Aiden randomly selects an oatmeal cookie from the bag, eats it, then randomly selects a chocolate chip cookie is 0.0721
<h3>How to determine the probability?</h3>
The distribution of the cookies is given as:
- 9 chocolate chip cookies
- 8 peanut butter cookies
- 8 sugar cookies
- 9 oatmeal cookies
When he eats a cookie, the number of cookies reduces by 1
So, the required probability is:
P(Oatmeal and Chocolate) = Oatmeal/Total * Chocolate/Total - 1
This gives
P(Oatmeal and Chocolate) = 9/(9 + 8 + 8 + 9) * 9/(9 + 8 + 8 + 9 -1)
Evaluate
P(Oatmeal and Chocolate) = 0.0721
Hence, the probability is 0.0721
