A basket contains 13 pieces of fruit: 5 apples, 5 oranges, and 3 bananas. Jonas takes piece of fruit at random from the basket, and then Beth takes a piece at random. What is the probability that jonas will get an orange and Beth will get an apple?
Well here im going to give you the process so that you can figure it out: The probability that Jonas will get an orange is 5/13.We know this because if Jonas gets an orange there are now 12 pieces of fruit remaining. Therefore the probability that Beth will get an apple is 5/12. What you need to do is to multiply these two values of probability to find the required probability. Hope this has helped
