Question on probability

by sivai87 Tue Jul 05, 2011 11:58 am

Problem Set - Q10, Chapter 5 PROBABILITY STRATEGY

A florist has 2 azaleas, 3 buttercups and 4 petunias. she puts two flowers together at random in a bouquet. however, the customer calls and says that she does not wants two of the same flower. what is the probability that the florist does not have to change the bouquet?

can this probability sum be solved using the probability trees strategy explained in the strategy guide? if yes, how? if not, y?

thanks in advance. :)
