A bunch of 12 flowers has three types of flowers, tulips, daffodils and roses.
4 of the flowers are tulips.
3 of the flowers are daffodils.
5 of the flowers are roses
James takes a flower at random from the bunch.
He does not replace it.
He then takes a second flower at random from the bunch.
Work out the probability that the two flowers will not be the same type?
Please show working.
Probability question?
P(not same type)
= [ 4*(12-4) + 3*(12-3) + 5*(12-5) ] / 12P2
= [ 4*8 + 3*9 + 5*7 ] / 12*11
= [ 32 + 27 + 35 ] / 132
= 94 / 132
= 47 / 66
Reply:have u done probabilitie trees ?
