Question

A pizza parlor has 13 different toppings available for its pizzas, and 2 of these toppings are pepperoni and anchovies. If a customer picks 2 toppings at random, find the probability that neither topping is anchovies.

Answer 1

11/13 * 10/12

Answer 2

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

12/13 * (12-1)/(13-1) = ?

(Assuming that the person does not want a double portion of any topping)
