Question

A basket contains the following pieces of fruit: 3 apples, 2 oranges, 2 bananas, 2 pears, and 5 peaches. Jameson picks a fruit at random and does not replace it. Then Brittany picks a fruit at random. What is the probability that Jameson gets a banana and Brittany gets a pear?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of Jameson getting a banana

The Probability of Banana

= 2/(3+2+2+2+5)-1 = 2/13

The probability of Brittany getting a pear

The Probability of Peaches

= 5/3+2+2+2+5 = 5/14

= 5/14 . 2/13 = 5/91
