Darlene will randomly select two piecies of fruit one at a time from the bag and not put them back what is the probabilty that the first piece of fruit Darlene secelts will be on apple and the second piece of fruit will be orange

Answer 1

6/91

Explanation:

Total number of fruits = 4 + 2 + 3 + 5 = 14

Apple: 4/14

One of the fruits have been taken from the total. 14 thus becomes 13.

There are 3 oranges

Orange: 3/13

Combine probability: 4/14 * 3/13 = 12/182 = 6/91

Two is a common factor in both 12 and 182
