Question :

Gabriel has a candy box containing 9 chocolates candies and 12 lollipops. If he choose 2 of them at random.

a) What is the probability that he gets 2 lollipops?

b) What is the probability that he gets 2 chocolates?

c) What is the probability that he gets at least 1 lollipop and 1 chocolate?

Answer:

First we need to calculate the total no. of items. In this case it is the no. of chocolate candies + the no. of lollipops which is, 9 + 12 = 21.

Now we can solve the questions.

a) P (2 lollipops) = 2/21.

b) P (2 chocolates) = 2/21.

c) P (at least 1 lollipop & 1 chocolate) = 2/21.

Note : P(x) is read as probability of getting x is....
