Question 1010577:
A gumball machine contains 10 blue, 5 pink, 5 orange, 16 yellow and 14 white gumballs. What is the probability that a child receives a yellow followed by a white? (No replacement) Answer by fractalier(6550) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! There are fifty total gumballs.
The probability of having a yellow is 16/50 = .32.
The probability of next getting a white is 14/49 = .286
The probability of those happening one after the other is
.32 * .286 = .0915 or about 9.15%.
