There are 5 red roses, 3 yellow roses, and 8 white roses in a tray. If Stephanie picked 2 roses one after the other without replacing, then what is the probability of picking a white rose first and a red rose next?
so probility is (disired outcomes) divided by (total possible outcomes) so
1st one is white roses 8 white roses so 8 is disired total=5+3+8=16 8/16=1/2 then without replacing them red=5 total possible=16-1 since 1 picked 5/15=1/3 then multiply the probatilities
