A jar contains 12 caramels, 7 mints and 16 dark chocolates. What is the probability of selecting a dark chocolate and then a caramel?

Question

Find the probability for the problem

Answer 1

First Pick         P(DC) = 16/35

Second Pick     P(C)   = 12/34

 

P(DC AND C) = (16/35 * 12/34) = 192/1190 = 0.16134
