Question

Find the probability.

A basket contains four apples and six
peaches. You randomly select a piece of
fruit and then return it to the basket. Then
you randomly select another piece of fruit.
The first piece of fruit is an apple and the
second piece is a peach.

Answer 1

Chance of getting Apple is 4/10. Chance of getting peach is 6/10. 4/10 x 6/10 is 24/100. I’m not 100% sure about this one though.

Answer 2

6/25

Explanation:

P(First Fruit is Apple, Second Fruit is peach)

= (4/10)(6/10)

= 6/25
