Question 1157800: You order eighteen burritos to go from a Mexican restaurant, eight with hot peppers and ten without. However, the restaurant forgot to label them. If you pick three burritos at random, find the probability of the given event. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
At least two have hot peppers. Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! at least 2 have hot peppers, that means 2 or 3
for 3 it is (8/18)(7/17)(6/16)=0.0686
for 2 it is (8/18)(7/17)(10/16)*3, because there are three ways this product will occur.
probability is 0.3431
The sum of those two is 0.4118, rounding at the end
