here are 28
different colored pencils in a box. What is the probability that the orange pencil and then the green pencil will be chosen at random, without replacement? Enter a fraction or round your answer to 4
decimal places, if necessary.
The probability of choosing the orange pencil first is 1/28 and the probability of choosing the green pencil second is 1/27 (since there is one less pencil in the box).
Therefore, the probability of choosing the orange pencil and then the green pencil is (1/28) * (1/27) = 1/756 or approximately 0.0013.
