An activity book has 21 pages of crossword puzzles, 18 pages of cryptograms, and 12 pages of mazes. Bianca randomly selects a page, completes the activity, and then randomly selects another page to complete. What is the probability that Bianca first completes a maze and then completes a crossword puzzle? (Points : 1) Option A: 21/88 Option B: 33/51 Option C: 28/289 Option D: 42/425
b :)
Can you tell me how?
i just added up all the numbers to get a denominater of 51 and added 12 and 21
theres a total of 51 activiities and there are 12 mazes so the probability of selecting first a maze is 12/51
that leaves 50 pages there are 21 crossword puzzle pages so probability choosing a crossword on the second pick is 21 / 50
snice these 2 events are independent the prob of maze/crossword i s 12/51 * 21/50
So D. Thank you!!! <33
yes its D
independent probabilities are multip;lied
Okie Dokie, ty love
