The events are dependent.

The size of the original sample space is 8. It changes to 7 after the first dime is chosen.

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

The probability is 1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 2 nectarines in a total of 16 pieces of fruit in a basket, so the probability of random selected piece of fruit being a nectarine is the number of nectarines over the total number of pieces of fruit:

Probability = Number of nectarines / Total pieces = 2 / 16

To find the fraction in the simplest form, we divide the numerator and denominator by 2:

Probability = (2/2) / (16/2) = 1/8
