Question

Anna has 2 purple lipsticks, 3 red lipsticks and 3 pink lipsticks in her kit. She picks one lipstick, records its color, puts it back in the kit and draws another lipstick. What is the probability of taking out a purple lipstick followed by the red lipstick?

Answer 1

Answer:

3/32

Explanation:

Since she is putting all of the lipsticks back in the kit, that means she will always have the same "denominator" for all the probabilities.

The equation would look something like this: 2/8 * 3/8  = 6/64 = 3/32
