Abag contains 5 red skittles, 3 purple skittles, and 2 orange skittles. a skittle is removed and not replaced, then another skittles. a is removed. what is the probability that is a red skittle then a orange skittle?

The probability of two independant events and can be found by multiplying the individual probabilities like so:


For each individual probability we can find the answer via a simplfied representation: 


For the first skittle (red) we have:


For the second skittle (orange) we have:

**(Notice that the total is now NINE since we didn't put the first red one back in the bag.)

So:

Cwill be your correct answer
