Answer:
3.17% probability of selecting first a green apple and then a nectarine.
Step-by-step explanation:
A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.
P(a green apple then a nectarine)
This is the probability of selecting first a green apple and then a nectarine.
Initially, there are 8+11+5+12 = 36 fruits, of which 8 are green apples. So 8/36 probability of choosing a green apple.
Now, there are 35 fruits, of which five are nectarines. So 5/35 probability of choosing a nectarine.
Then
3.17% probability of selecting first a green apple and then a nectarine.
