A refrigerator contains 10 bottles of water, 7 bottles of apple juice, and 13 bottles
of orange juice. If 2 drinks are taken at random from the refrigerator, what is the
probability that both drinks are bottles of apple juice?
Total bottles = 30
Probability of the first bottle is an apple juice = 7/30
Probability of the second bottle is also apple juice = 6/29 because 1 apple juice is removed and total is now 29 bottles left in the refrigerator.
P = 7/30×6/29 = 42/870
