Leslie has two cups containing different colored paper clips the first cup contains 7 pink paper clips and 3 blue paper clips the second cup contains 3 black paper clips 1 red paper clip and 6 orange paper clips what is the probability that Leslie will randomly select a blue paper clip from the first cup and then randomly select an orange paper clip from the second cup

Respuesta :

The probability is 9/50.

The probability of getting a blue paper clip from the first clip is 3/10, since there are 3 blue clips out of 10 total.

The probability of getting an orange paper clip from the second cup is 6/10, since there are 6 orange clips out of 10 total.

Together, the probability is 3/10(6/10) = 18/100 = 9/50
