Letecia’s cousin Tanda lives with 8 rabbits, 4 dogs and two cats. She wants to take them all to the park, but only six animals can get into her car with her. If she randomly picks six animals to accompany her, what is the probability she chooses two of each species?
to find the probability first we need to find the total number of outcomes and total number of favourable outcomes
So
total number of outcomes are
As in total there are 8+4+2=14 animals and she needs to choose 6 of them.
now the favourable outcomes are
2 out of 8 rabbits are selected, 2 out of 4 dogs are selected and 2 out of 2 cats are selected
So the number of favourable outcomes are
Hence the probability is
P(Favourable outcome)=total number of favourable outcomes/total number of outcomes
Hence the probability is 0.05594406.
