You are packing for a road trip and you buy snack packages (same size, same weight) for the trip. You buy 6 potato chips, 5 doritos, and 3 corn curls. You put them in a bag and mix them up. During the trip, you reach into the bag and pull out two packages at random, one at a time. Draw a tree and calculate the probability of each outcome. Use P for potato chips, D for doritos, and C for corn curls.
What is the probability of picking at least one potato chips bag?
P(at least one P) =

I guess you did not read the posting guidelines as you are thinking that this forum is a homework service it. Please read the posting guidelines and follow them in your next post.

Out of curiosity do you really think asking for help and asking for someone to do your work for you as the same??
 
I wasn't asking for someone to do my work for me I just don't know how to figure out this problem and was hoping someone would be able to guide me. I have never done statistics or probability that is all I was trying to ask.

Since this problem asks for "at least 1" - I would first calculate the probability of NO potato chip bag.
