Question

Des buys a pack of starbursts that has 3 orange,6 pink , 1 yellow , and 5 red starbursts. She puts the candy in the bowl. If she reaches in and grabs two starbursts without putting one back , what is the probability that she will pick a pink and then a yellow?

Answer 1

Answer:

3/70

Step-by-step explanation:

3 orange,6 pink , 1 yellow , and 5 red = 15

P(pink) = number of pink/ total = 6/15 = 3/5

Then without putting it back

3 orange,5 pink , 1 yellow , and 5 red = 14

P(yellow) = number of yellow/ total = 1/14

P(pink, no replacement, yellow) = 3/5*1/14 = 3/70
