carniel · Answer

It says whats the probabillity of them pull that certain fruit. It seems like you cross multiplied for both.

experimentx · Answer

yeah 35/210 = 1/6 =>  probability of Jonas x probability of Beth ... it's because they are connected by AND

anonymous · Answer

me no its 5/15 for jonas which is 1/3 and 7/14 for beth 1/2 in order to get the probablity compound i multiplied 1*1 and 3*2
