Question

2) There are 12 sweets in a bag.

Answer 1

Answer:

0.654

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 12 sweets in a bag.

4 are lemon flavour.

4 are caramel flavour.

4 are orange flavour.

Jude takes at random 3 sweets at the same time.

Work out the probability that exactly 2 of the sweets are the same flavour.

Probability = Required outcome / Total possible outcomes

Required outcome = either exactly 2 of lemon or 2 of caramel or 2 of Orange

Required outcome = 3[4C2 * 8C1) = 3(6*8) = 144

Total possible outcomes = 12C3 = 220

P(exactly 2 are same flavor) = 144 / 220 = 0.654
