You are packing for a road trip and you buy snack packages (same size, same weight) for the trip. you buy 6 potato chips, 5 doritos, and 3 corn curls. you put them in a bag and mix them up. during the trip, you reach into the bag and pull out two packages at random, one at a time. draw a tree and calculate the probability of each outcome. use p for potato chips, d for doritos, and c for corn curls. what is the probability of picking two snacks of the same type?

Answer :

The probability of picking two snacks of the same type is 0.308.

How to calculate the probability?

The probability of picking 2 potato will be:

= 6/14 × 5/13

= 0.429 × 0.385

= 0.165

The probability of picking 2 doritos will be:

= 5/14 × 4/13

= 0.357 × 0.308

= 0.110

The probability of picking 2 corn curls will be:

= 3/14 × 2/13

= 0.214 × 0.154

= 0.033

Therefore, the probability of picking two snacks of the same type will be:

= 0.165 + 0.110 + 0.033

= 0.308
