Question

Edward has a box of following Skittles: 5 red, 4 green, 6 orange, 3 purple, and 7 yellow. He wants to know what the probability of choosing a red Skittle, eating it, and then choosing a yellow Skittle is. Which expression below shows Edward how to correctly find the probability of this situation? Skittles Original O 7/25 x 4/25 5/25 x 7/25 5/25 x 7/24 05/24 x 7/24​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let's add the total skittles to get our outcome:

25 in total.

5(red skittles)/25(total skittles in all)

7(yellow skittles)/24(total skittles in all NOW since you took a red skittle)

So therefore your expression is:

5/25 x 7/24
