Answer:
a. Probability = 1/12
b. Dependent events
Step-by-step explanation:
a. The chances of Mr Douglas eating two slices of cheese pizza is given by;
There are;
Pepperoni pizza = 5
Sausage pizza = 1
cheese pizza = 3
Probability of first selecting cheese pizza = 3/(5 + 1 + 3) = 3/9 = 1/3
After the cheese pizza is selected without replacement, probability of selecting a second cheese pizza = 2/(5 + 1 + 2) = 2/8 = 1/4
Therefore, the probability of eating two cheese pizzas = 1/3 × 1/4 = 1/12
b. The events are dependent because the outcome of first eating a cheese pizza affects the probability of eating a second cheese pizza.
