You decide you do not want to eat that fruit, so you put it back into the refrigerator and pull out another piece of fruit. What is the probability that you will pull a banana on the first try and an apple on the second try?

Answer 1

Answer:

The probability that you will pull a banana on the first try and an apple on the second try = .024

Step-by-step explanation:

Given -

A refrigerator contains 50 pieces of fruit: 6 apples, 5 oranges, 10 bananas, 3 pears, 7 peaches, 11 plums, and 8 mangos .

Total no of fruit = 50

The probability that you will pull a banana on the first try and an apple on the second try = $\frac{10}{50} \times \frac{6}{50}$

                  =  $\frac{6}{250}$

                  = .024
