She then has Eric select a cookie from the jar without looking. Next, without replacing the first cookie, Eric picks a second cookie without looking in the jar, What is the probability Eric will pick an oatmeal cookie first and a chocolate chip cookie second?

first test is oatmeal
there are 8 oatmeal cookies out of the 24 in the jar so the probability of pulling an oatmeal cookie out is 8/24 = 1/3
Then we have 23 cookies in the jar and 12 are chocolate chip (sorry I did peanut butter)
so
1/3 * 12/23 = 4/23
