QUESTION 4 A box contains 3 cherry frozen treats and 2 grape frozen treats. Maggie takes a treat from the box without looking, gives it to her brother, and then selects another treat. What is the probability that her brother gets a grape treat and she gets a cherry treat?

Respuesta :

Answer:

3/10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sample space

3 cherries

2 grapes

The sample size S = {3+2}= 5

For for the first selection

The probability of picking a grape  [tex]Pr(grape)=\frac{2}{5}[/tex]

Since the second selection is without replacement the sample size is now 4

The probability of picking a cherry [tex]Pr(cherry)= \frac{3}{4}[/tex]

The probability that her brother gets a grape treat and she gets a cherry treat = [tex]\frac{2}{5} *\frac{3}{4}= \frac{6}{20}=\frac{3}{10}[/tex]
