This is an example of probability without replacement and can simply be done using the formula.

The probability that both apples he ate will be green is 1/12

Probability without replacement

This is done when we pick a value from a data set and does not replace it and hence affects the value of the original data set.

Data;

  • Red = 8
  • Green = 4

Jeremy ate two apples from the basket and the probability this is green would be

[tex]8 + 4 = 12\\[/tex]

The number of green apples are = 4

[tex]\frac{4}{12} * \frac{3}{12} = \frac{12}{144} = \frac{1}{12}[/tex]

The probability that both apples he ate will be green is 1/12
