Respuesta :

Answer: 77 / 1785

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of caramels = 10

Number of mints = 12

Number of dark chocolate = 14

Total number = 36

Since it's without replacement, the exact probability that Marilyn picks a mint, then another mint, and finally a bar of dark chocolate will be:

= 12/36 × 11/35 × 14/34

= 1/3 × 11/35 × 7/17

= 77/1785
