Answer :

Answer:

17/75

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of candies = 8 caramels + 17 nougats = 25 candies

The probability that Jose drew 1 caramel and then 1 nougat without replacement = P(C) and P(N)

= 8/25 × 17/24

Further simplifying

= 1/25 × 17/3

= 17/75

Therefore, the probability that Jose drew 1 caramel and then 1 nougat without replacement is 17/75
