The probability that Wade randomly selects a sugar cookie from the bag is 5/24, eats it, then randomly selects a peanut butter cookie is 5/23
1) probability of selecting a sugar cookie:
Total number of cookies in the bag= 6 chocolate chip cookies + 5 peanut butter cookies + 5 sugar cookies + 8 oatmeal cookies = 24 cookies.
Number of sugar cookies (A) = 5
Probability P(A) = Number of favorable outcomes to A / Total number of possible outcomes
Therefore,
Probability of sugar cookie = Number of sugar cookies / Total number of cookies in the bag= 5/24.
2) probability of selecting a peanut butter cookie after eating the sugar cookie:
Total number of cookies in the bag= 6 chocolate chip cookies + 5 peanut butter cookies + 4 sugar cookies + 8 oatmeal cookies = 23 cookies. (Wade ate 1 sugar cookie)
Number of peanut butter cookies = 5
Probability P(A) = Number of favorable outcomes to A / Total number of possible outcomes
Therefore,
Probability of peanut butter cookie = Number of peanut butter cookies / a Total number of cookies in the bag= 5/23.
Hence, the two probabilities are as follows:
1) probability of selecting a sugar cookie = 5/24
2) probability of selecting a peanut butter cookie after eating the sugar cookie = 5/23
