P( sugar cookies then peanut butter cookie) = 0.0652173
Probability is the branch of mathematics that deals with numerical descriptions of how probable an event is to occur or how likely it is that a claim is true. The probability of an event is a number between 0 and 1, with 0 indicating impossibility and 1 indicating certainty.
6 chocolate chip cookies
5 peanut butter cookies
5 sugar cookies
8 oatmeal cookies
Total number of cookies purchased = (6+5+5+8) = 24
We know that the formula is:
Probability, P= required outcome /total possible outcomes
This selection without replacement probability problem is as follows:
P( sugar cookies) = 5/24
Then ;
P(peanut butter cookie) = 6/23
P( sugar cookies then peanut butter cookie) = 1/4 * 6/23 = 0.0652173
