What am I missing here?
There is 1 Bad apple and 4 Good apples - so BGGGG are possible options.
We are selecting two.
Total Favorable outcomes / Total outcomes
Total favorable outcomes are 2 because you can select BG or GB
Total outcomes is 5C2 = 10 possibilities:
Therefore, 2/10 = 1/5
Please help me understand where I went wrong? Thanks
NVM - I think I got it. Favorable outcomes are actually 4:
1. B, G1
2. B, G2
3. B, G3
4. B, G4
Dear
GK002we do not care concerning the permutation.
as you alluded there 2 cases, but the calculation is different.
BG or GB = BR + GB = where
BG =\(\frac{1}{5}\)*\(\frac{4}{4}\) (because the probability to take G is 100% after you removed "B") = \(\frac{1}{5}\)
GB = \(\frac{4}{5}\)*\(\frac{1}{4}\) =\(\frac{1}{5}\)
So, BG or GB = BR + GB =\(\frac{1}{5}\)+\(\frac{1}{5}\)=\(\frac{2}{5}\)
Hope it helps
