A basket contains five apples and seven peaches. You randomly select one piece of fruit and eat it. Then you randonly select another piece of fruit. What is the probability that the first piece of fruit is an apple of the second piece is a peach.

Respuesta :

P(5/12•7/11)=35/132 The probability is 35/132

From 5 apples and 7 peaches, the probability for the first apple then peach fruit is 35/132.

What is probability?

Probability is defined as a number between zero to one for the analysis of random phenomena.

Given that there are 5 apples and 7 peaches in a basket.

Total Fruits = 12

For the first event, the probability of getting an apple is,

[tex]P_1 = \dfrac{5}{12}[/tex]

Now, Total Fruits = 11

For the second event, the probability of getting peach is,

[tex]P_2 = \dfrac {7}{11}[/tex]

The probability for both events is given below.

[tex]P = P_1\times P_2[/tex]

[tex]P = \dfrac {5}{12} \times \dfrac {7}{11}[/tex]

[tex]P = \dfrac {35}{132}[/tex]

Hence we can conclude that the probability for the first apple then peach fruit is 35/132.
