Respuesta :

The probability that brittany randomly selects a sugar cookie from the bag, eats it, then randomly selects another sugar cookie will be 0.0598.

What is probability?

Its basic premise is that something will almost certainly happen. The percentage of favorable events to the total number of occurrences.

Brittany buys a bag of cookies that contains 9 chocolate chip cookies, 7 peanut butter cookies, 7 sugar cookies and 4 oatmeal raisin cookies.

Then the total number of cookie will be

⇒ 9 + 7 + 7 + 4

⇒ 27

Then the probability of picking sugar cookie will be

p₁ = 7/27

Then the probability of picking another suger cookie will be

p₂ = 6/26

p₂ = 3/13

Then the probability that brittany randomly selects a sugar cookie from the bag, eats it, then randomly selects another sugar cookie will be

P = p₁ x p₂

P = 7/27 x 3/13

P = 0.0598
