Question

A jewelry box contains 13 gold earrings, 10 silver earrings and 12 titanium

Answer 1

Answer:

The probability is 406/625

Step-by-step explanation:

If they are of different materials, we have the following combinations of selection;

(gold and silver) or ( silver and titanium) or (gold and titanium )

The number of earrings present is 13 + 10 + 12 = 25

Probability of selecting a gold earring is 13/25

Probability of a silver is 10/25

Probability of a titanium is 12/25

Substituting these into the probabilities, we have;

(13/25 * 10/25) + (10/25 * 12/25) + (13/25 * 12/25)

= 130/625 + 120/625 + 156/625 = 406/625
