A bag contains five Snickers bars, nine Milky Way bars, two Crunch bars,
and twelve Twix bars. If Jack randomly selects a candy bar, eats it, then
randomly selects another, find the probability that both candy bars were
Milky Way.

Respuesta :

Answer:

about a 9.5 percent chance of both being a milky way

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability that both candy bars were milky way is [tex]\frac{2}{21}[/tex]

What is Probability?

Probability is the branch of mathematics concerning numerical descriptions of how likely an event is to occur

Given,

Number of snickers bars = 5

Number of Milky way bars =9

Number of crunch bars = 2

Number of Twix bars = 12

Total number of Candy bars = 5+9+2+12 =28

If Jack randomly selects a candy bar, eats it, then randomly selects another

Probability = Number of favorable outcome / Number of total outcome

Probability of taking Milky way bar in first pick = [tex]\frac{9}{28}[/tex]

So Total number of candy bars and number of Milky way bar are decreased by 1.

Probability of taking Milky way bar in second pick = [tex]\frac{8}{27}[/tex]

Probability that both candy bars were milky way = [tex](\frac{9}{28}).(\frac{8}{27})=\frac{2}{21}[/tex]

Hence, Probability that both candy bars were milky way is [tex]\frac{2}{21}[/tex]
