1) On a shelf there are 60 novels and 20 poetry books. What is ... Probability that Person A chooses a novel and walks away with it ... And then Person B walks up shortly after and picks another. What's the probability

Answer :

Answer:

1. The probability of Person A choosing a novel is 3/4

2. The probability of Person B choosing a novel is 59/79

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability = number of items ÷ total possible outcome

Number of novels = 60 books, Number of Poetry books = 20 books, Total possible outcome = 80 books

Person A:

Probability (novel) = 60 ÷ 80 = 3/4

Probability (novel) = 3/4

The probability of Person A choosing a novel is 3/4

Person B:

After Person A chose a novel, the number of novels is now 59 & the total number of books is now 79

Probability (novel) = 59 ÷ 79

Probability (novel) = 59/79

The probability of Person B choosing a novel is 59/79
