Question

There are 5 orange bumper cars and 3 green bumper cars that are being tested

for safety for a ride at an amusement park. Two bumper cars are tested at
random, one at a time, without retesting the same car.

Find the probability that both cars are orange.

Enter the correct answer in the box.

Answer 1

5/14

Explanation:

I assume after testing the 1st car, it is not placed back into the pool.

So, 1st test orange is 5/8

2nd test orange is 4/7.

Both had to be true, so 5/8 x 4/7 = 5/14
