Question

there are 12 sweets in a bag. 7 of the sweets are strawberry flavou. 5 of the sweets are lime flavour. harriet takes 2 sweets at random work out the probability that she takes at least one strawberry sweet.

Answer 1

Data:

Total flavors = 12
Strawberry flavour = 7
Lemon flavour = 5


`1 - ((5)/(12) *(4)/(11)) = 1 - ( (20)/(132) ) = 1 - (20)/(132) = (132-20)/(132) = (112)/(20) simplified(/4)= (28)/(33)`
or

`\approx 0,84` (84%)
