Question

A chef draws cookies randomly from a box containing 6 cookies of the same shape and size. There is 1 chocolate cookie, 3 almond cookies, and 2 butter cookies. He draws 1 cookie and then draws another cookie without replacing the first one. Find the probability of picking 1 almond cookie followed by another almond cookie, and show the equation used.

Answer 1

Answer:

1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of drawing an almond cookie the first time is 3/6=1/2, since there are a total of 6 cookies and 3 of them are almond. However, the second time the chance is 2/5, since there are 5 cookies left and only two of them are almond. The equation to model this is therefore:

$P=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot \dfrac{2}{5}=\dfrac{1}{5}$

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

1/5 is ur answer

1st time :

Total amount of cookies = 6

Total amount of almonds= 3

simplified to 1/2

2and time:

Total amount of cookies = 5

Total amount of almonds = 2
