A chef draws cookies randomly from a box containing 6 cookies of the same shape and size. There is 1 chocolate cookie, 3 almond cookies, and 2 butter cookies. He draws 1 cookie and then draws another cookie without replacing the first one. Find the probability of picking 1 almond cookie followed by another almond cookie, and show the equation used.

Question

Tonycoolkid21 · Answer

1 + 3 + 2 = 6
1 / 6 = 0.16 x 100 = 16%
1 / 5 = 0.2 x 122 = 20%

crispyrat · Answer

ok so he first has a chance of
3/6=1/2 for the almond cookie
then after that he has 5 cookies left and so has a 2/5 chance

to find the probabilty of one after another
you have to multiply
3/6*2/5
