Math Problem Statement
Solution
The problem asks for the probability of first pulling out a bottle of orange juice and then a bottle of grape juice from an ice chest, without replacing the first bottle. The key information is as follows:
- Orange Juice Bottles: 2
- Grape Juice Bottles: 5
- Apple Juice Bottles: 1
- Total Bottles:
Step 1: Probability of pulling an orange juice bottle first
There are 2 orange juice bottles out of 8 total bottles.
Step 2: Probability of pulling a grape juice bottle next
After pulling out one orange juice bottle, there are 7 bottles left, 5 of which are grape juice bottles.
Step 3: Combined probability
Since the events are sequential and independent (without replacement), the total probability is the product of the two individual probabilities.
Thus, the probability of pulling out a bottle of orange juice followed by a bottle of grape juice is .

Here are 5 related questions to expand on this:
- What is the probability of pulling two bottles of grape juice in a row?
- What is the probability of pulling an apple juice bottle first and a grape juice bottle second?
- What if the order didn’t matter—what would be the probability of pulling one orange and one grape juice bottle?
- How would the probability change if the first bottle was replaced?
- How would the probabilities change if the chest had more bottles of orange juice?
Tip: When dealing with probabilities of multiple events without replacement, always reduce the total number of items and adjust the probabilities accordingly.
