Answer:
1 /22
6/11
Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of soda = 12
Number of diet soda in pack = 3
Number of regular soda = 12 - 3 = 9
Suppose selection is done without replacement ;
Recall : probability = required outcome / Total possible outcomes
P(selecting diet soda on 1st pick) = number of diet soda / total Number of soda in pack = 3 / 12
Diet soda left = 3 - 1 = 2
Total sodas left in pack = 12 - 1 = 11
P(selecting diet soda on 2nd pick) = 2 /11
Probability(diet soda on both picks) =
3/12 * 2/11 = 6 / 132 = 1 / 22
B.)
P(selecting regular soda on 1st pick) = number of regular / total Number of soda in pack = 9 / 12
Diet soda left = 9 - 1 = 8
Total sodas left in pack = 12 - 1 = 11
P(selecting regular soda on 2nd pick) = 8 /11
Probability(regular soda on both picks) =
9/12 * 8/11 = 72 / 132 = 12 / 22 = 6/11
