Question

A radio disc jockey has 7 songs on this up coming hour's playlist: 2 are rock songs, 2 are reggae songs and 3 are country songs. The disc jockey randomly chooses the first song to play, and then she randomly chooses the second song from the remaining ones. What is the probability that the first song is a rock song and the second is a country song?

Answer 1

Answer:

Probability that song selected after first selection is rock = 2/7

Probability that song selected from the remaining after second selection is country rock = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of songs = 7

After first selection, probability that the song selected is rock = 2/7

After second selection, probability that the song selected from the remaining is a country song = 3/6 = 1/2
