The basket contains snacks. The baskets contain 12 bags of peanuts ,of which 7 are reduced sodium and 8 granola bars of which 3 are reduced sodium. If you randomly select one snack from each basket what is the probability that both snacks are reduced sodium and one snack is a bag of peanuts and the other is a granola bar?

Sagot :

diene
reduced sodium peanuts: 7
normal peanuts: 5
reduced sodium granola bars: 3
normal granola bars: 5
probability of getting a reduced sodium peanut bag: 7/12
probability of getting a reduced sodium granola bar: 3/8
multiply the probabilities because they're separate events:
7/12 * 3/8= 
(7*3)/(12*8)=
21/96=
7/32
