A contestant on a game show must choose 2 of 16 boxes. Once a box is chosen, it is removed from the game. Of the 16 boxes, 3 con
tain money, 5 contain traveling prizes, and 8 are empty. What is the probability that both boxes are empty?
1 answer:
Answer:
7 / 30
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a selection without replacement probability :
Total boxes = 16
With money = 3
With traveling prices = 5
Empty = 8
P(choosing 2 empty boxes) :
P(empty) * P(empty)
P(empty) = Number of empty boxes / total number of boxes
First pick = empty
P(empty) = 8 / 16 = 1/2
Without replacement :
Second pick = empty
P(empty) = 7 / 15
P(choosing 2 empty boxes) = 1/2 * 7/15 = 7 /30

Answer:
Let the x = # of pies Larry ate
Jesse ate 2x-5 pies
Total = 16
