Answer 1

Answer:

The probability of selecting two jelly filled donuts in a row is 1.08%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Elizabeth brought a box of donuts to share, and there are two dozen (24) donuts in the box, all identical in size shape and color, of which 3 are jelly filled, 6 are lemon filled and 15 are custard filled, and you randomly select one donut eat it and select another donut, to find the probability of selecting two jelly filled donuts in a row the following calculation must be performed:

3/24 x 2/23 = X

0.125 x 0.086 = X

0.01086 = X

Therefore, the probability of selecting two jelly filled donuts in a row is 1.08%.
