1. Miriam randomly chooses 2 items for the child she is babysitting from a toy bin that contains 12 toys,
8 stuffed animals, and 3 board games. What is the probability that she chose 2 stuffed animals as the
first two choices?
 Dependent Event
SOL:
8
P(A) =
23
7
P(B) =
22
P(A & B) = P(A) x P(B|A)

8 7
= 23 x 22 = 0.1107 x 100

56
= 506 P(A & B) = 11.07%

28
= 253

2. Arman and Gaylee went to a pet store to buy dog food for their dog Loki. They chose from 10 brands
of dry food, 6 brands of canned food, and 3 brands of pet snacks. What is the probability that they both
chose dry food, if Arman randomly chose first and liked the first brand he picked up?

 Independent Event

SOL:
10
P(A) = Probability that Arman chose dry food =
19
10
P(B) = Probability that Gaylee chose dry food =
19
P(A & B) = P(A) x P(B)

3. Joshua’s mother has 10 orange juice boxes, 7 grape juice boxes, and 3 lemonade juice boxes in the
cooler for Joshua and his friends. Joshua randomly takes a juice box from the cooler, then randomly
chooses another juice box without replacing the first. Find the probability that both juice boxes are
lemonade.

4. You have a bag of 15 scrabble tiles. 3 of the tiles are O and 2 of the tiles are U. What is the probability
of getting O and then U?

 Independent Event

SOL:
3
P(A) = Probability of getting O =
15
2
P(B) = Probability of getting U =
15
P(A & B) = P(A) x P(B)
