Answer:
d) 5/12​
Step-by-step explanation:
A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.
Drinks:
Five diet, 10 regular.
Probability of a regular drink:
10/(10+5) = 10/15 = 2/3
Regular bag of chips:
6 fat-free, 10 regular
Probability of a regular bag of chips:
10/(10+6) = 10/16 = 5/8
What is the probability that you will buy a regular drink and a regular bag of chips?
Drink and chips are independent events, which means that we just multiply the probabilities. So
[tex]\frac{2}{3}*\frac{5}{8} = \frac{2*5}{3*8} = \frac{10}{24} = \frac{5}{12}[/tex]
The correct answer is given by option d.
