Question

Sasha has 20 starburst in a bag 9 are yellow 6 are pink 4 are red and 2 are orange. Sasha will randomly select two starburst from the bag with no replacement. What is the probability that she will select a yellow Starburst and then a red starburst?(Give your answer as a reduced fraction

Answer 1

Answer:

9/95

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability calculates the likelihood of an event occurring. The likelihood of the event occurring lies between 0 and 1. It is zero if the event does not occur and 1 if the event occurs.

For example, the probability that it would rain on Friday is between o and 1. If it rains, a value of one is attached to the event. If it doesn't a value of zero is attached to the event.

probability that she will select a yellow Starburst and then a red starburst = probability of picking a yellow starburst x probability of picking a red starburst

9/20 x 4/19 = 9/95

because there is no replacement, the number of balls after the yellow one is picked would reduce by 1
