Question

a bag of fruit contains 4 apples, 1 plum, 2 apricots, 3 oranges. Pieces of fruit are drawn twice with replacement. What is p(apple, then apricot)?
4/5, 2/25, 3/25, 3/5
I chose 3/5

Answer 1

If the events are independent, the probability of both/all events occurring is determined by multiplying the probabilities of the individual events.

4/10 * 2/10 = 3/25

Answer 2

Answer 3

4/10 * 2/10 = 2/5 * 1/5 ≠ 3/25
