It makes no sense to me either. Please proofread, correct, and repost.

Answer 2

A basket contains the following pieces of fruit: 3 apples, 2 oranges, 2 bananas, 2 pears, and 5 peaches. Jack picks a fruit at random and does not replace it. Then Bethany picks a fruit at random. What is the probability that Jack gets a peach and Bethany gets an orange?

I'm so sorry, I didn't pay much attention whilst writing, but this is coming straight from the work I was assigned

Answer 3

Jack ... 5 peaches in 14 pieces of fruit
... probability of peach is ... 5/14

Bethany ... 2 oranges in 13 pieces of fruit
... probability of orange is ... 2/13

the probability of both events happening is the product of the individual probabilities
