.A bag contains 3 red checkers and 5 black checkers. A checker is selected, kept out of the bag, and then another checker is selected. What is the P(black, then red)?

15 / 56

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of red checkers = 3

Number of black checkers = 5

Total number of checkers = 8

P(black, then red) = 5/8 × 3/7 = 15/56

We should note that the probability to pick a black checker first will be 5 out of 8. Then, there'll be 7 checkers left and the probability to pick a res checker will be 3/7. We then multiply the probabality of each together.

1/800 is the right answer
