Answer:

\frac{9}{56} =16.07%

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this you have to remember that probability is calculated by the next formula:

Probability=\frac{Desired.outcomes}{Possible.outcomes}

You can calculate the probability of two consequent events by multiplying the probability of each one occuring.

So the first one, you have 8 apple sin the basket and 3 of them are oranges, Jonas has to take out 3 out of 8.

Jonas=\frac{Desired.outcomes}{Possible.outcomes}\\Jonas=\frac{3}{8}

Now there are only 7 fruits in the basket, 3 of them are apples, this means that Beth would have to take out 3 out of 7

Beth=\frac{Desired.outcomes}{Possible.outcomes}\\Beth=\frac{3}{7}

Now we just have to multiply both probabilities:

Combined probablilty=(\frac{3}{8}) (\frac{3}{7} )\\Combined probablilty=(\frac{3*3}{8*7})\\Combined probablilty=(\frac{9}{56})

So the answer would be that there is a \frac{9}{56} probability that Jonas and Beth will get an orange and then an apple, when taking fruit out of the basket.

As the basket contains 8 pieces of fruits of which 3 are oranges,

the probability that Jonas will get an orange is <span>3/8</span>.

Considering Jonas has already got an orange, as 7 fruits are left of which 3 are apple, probability that Beth will get an apple will be <span>3/7</span>.

Hence the probability that Jonas will get an orange and Beth will get an apple is 3/8*3/7=9/56

Answer: 9/56
