There are 6 apples, 8 oranges, and 10 peaches in an ice chest. if maury gets to pick twice and he puts back what he selected the first time, what is the probability that he will get two peaches?

Hello!

Since Maury replaces what she takes out the probability will always be x/24, as 24 is the total number of fruits. We need to find the probability of getting one peach first.

10/24=5/12

Since she replaces the peach, she has a 5/12 chance again. We will multiply our probabilities.

5/12(5/12)=25/144, which is about 17.36%.

I hope this helps!
