Elizabeth brought a box of donuts to share. there are​ two-dozen (24) donuts in the​ box, all identical in​ size, shape, and color. three are​ jelly-filled, 10 are​ lemon-filled, and 11 are​ custard-filled. you randomly select one​ donut, eat​ it, and select another donut. find the probability of selecting a jelly​-filled donut followed by a custard​-filled donut.

Answer :

Jelly filled donut
[tex] \frac{3}{24} = \frac{1}{8} [/tex]
Custard filled donut
[tex] \frac{11}{24} [/tex]
After eating a jelly filled donut, total donut equals to 23, instead of 24.

Probability =
[tex] \frac{1}{8} \times \frac{11}{23} = \frac{11}{184} [/tex]

Hope this helps. - M
