We need to find LCM of the denominators
It is found to be 24
We get the fractions (4+9)/24= 13/24
Answer:
P = 0.55 or 55 %
Step-by-step explanation:
First step: Fred has probability of 0,5 when chossing jar 1 or jar 2
Second step : The probability of chossing one chocolate chp cookie in jar 1 is 3/5 and from the jar 2 is 1/2
Then the probability of Fred to get a chocolate chip cookie is
P ( get a chocolate chip cookie ) =( 0.5 * 3/5) +( 0.5* 1/2)
P = 0.3 + 0.25
P = 0.55 or 55 %
