Question

A chef boiled 4 eggs and put them in a basket with 8 eggs that were not boiled. All of the eggs look the same. Randy selects an egg, keeps it, and then selects another egg. Which expression gives the probability that he selects 2 boiled eggs?

Answer 1

A. \[\frac{ 4 }{ 12 } • \frac{ 4 }{ 12}\]

Answer 2

B.\[\frac{ 4 }{ 12 } • \frac{ 3 }{ 12 }\]

Answer 3

C.\[\frac{ 4 }{ 12 } • \frac{ 3 }{ 11 }\]

Answer 4

Well, how many eggs were there in total before Randy took one

Answer 5

D.\[\frac{ 4 }{ 12 } • \frac{ 4 }{ 11 }\]

Answer 6

12 @myth1111

Answer 7

16/132

Answer 8

Right don't listen to that guy lol

Answer 9

Right so there was 12 eggs in total, and 4 boiled ones, so the first fraction is....

Answer 10

Remember to reduce

Answer 11

\[\frac{ 4 }{ 12 } or \frac{ 12 }{ 4 } ?\]

Answer 12

Well, which makes more sense to you?

Answer 13

The answer is 4/12

Answer 14

im thinking 4 over 12

Answer 15

Yeah, it's 4/12. Mattga you are not allowed to just give answers. Also you are wrong.

Answer 16

It is because he cannot have a probability over 1/1

Answer 17

@mattga2002 pls stop :|

Answer 18

your gonna get yourself banned .,.

Answer 19

So now, for the 2nd fraction... there was 12 eggs, and 1 was taken, so how many eggs are there now?

Answer 20

11

Answer 21

i think

Answer 22

Yep

Answer 23

And since there was 4 boiled eggs, and he took one, how many boiled eggs are there?

Answer 24

3

Answer 25

Yup, so 3, and 11, so what's the 2nd fraction?

Answer 26

\[\frac{ 3 }{ 11}\]

Answer 27

So the answer is?

Answer 28

Or 11| 3

Answer 29

it's 3/11

Answer 30

\[\frac{ 11 }{ 3 }\]

Answer 31

Thanks :) everyone who helped <3

Answer 32

btw in these probability problems the fractions shouldn't be over 1/1 ever.
