At a game booth, a student gets a box of candy as the prize for winning a game. The boxes come in four colors: white, red, green, and blue. There are 6 boxes of each color. All the boxes are equally likely to be given away as prizes. Which expression shows the probability of the first winner receiving a white box and the second winner also receiving a box of the same color? 6 over 24 multiplied by 6 over 23 6 over 24 multiplied by 5 over 23 6 over 24 plus 5 over 23 6 over 24 plus 6 over 23

one second

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What answer do you think it is? :o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

find the probability for picking out a white box

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is your first fraction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it 10/40 * 9/39

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait nvm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then subtract 1 from the numerator and denominator to get 5/23

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh i think its B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cause you don't add right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if there are 6 boxes per color and 4 colors, do 6*4 to get your denominator for your first fraction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

24

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the probability of getting a white box is 6/24

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes it is B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok then thanks!!!! :))))))

OpenStudy (anonymous):
