Math Problem Statement
The Appleton Apple Orchard is selling apples to Peppa. There are 4 different varieties available: Gala, Fuji, Granny Smith, and Honeycrisp. They have 500 Gala, 800 Fuji, 300 Granny Smith, and 400 Honeycrisp apples, making a total of 2000 apples available. Peppa is going to purchase 1800 apples for her and her family. What is the probability that Peppa chooses to buy 450 Gala, 750 Fuji, 250 Granny Smith, and 350 Honeycrisp apples? Hint: Treat each apple variety as a different group. The order she gets the apples in does not matter. Questions to Answer: (a) Show the setup / calculations required to find the probability required. No final answer needed.
